I prefer small groups to socialize with. I never attend work parties. I have little in common with most of my coworkers.

I have enough "chatter" in my classroom. I don't need it elsewhere. I don't really care how long my life is, as long as I get to spend it doing what I love and with my honey.

My relatives seem to hanging on until their 80s or 90s. That's good enough for me.
