Czech Out A New Day

Petr is dressed for work, not tennis, for a change. Notice the tie? As usual, the conversation started out with the latest screw-ups by President Bush, and then it gravitated to just how rich he'll be in another couple of years, living on his social security while enjoying the the much lower cost of living and the free medical care back home in the Czech Republic. The big question, though, is when. Should he hold out for the extra money he'll get if he works through until age 65, or perhaps retire one or two years earlier? Every day his answer is different. Sometimes I'd almost rather listen to him ranting on and on about Bush.
