M: Hello! My name is Art. I'm 74 years old and I live in a retirement community with my wife Kate. I retired about twelve years ago from the bicycle business. I was in the bicycle business for twenty-five years. For twenty of the twenty-five years I ran my own business. After I decided to sell my business, I became an adviser. I worked as an adviser for five years and then I retired. The retirement community I live in requires you to be fifty-eight years old or older. In the community I engage in many activities, such as oil painting and photography. My favourite activity, however, is golf. Weather permitting, I play every day. We have a golf course in the community and since I play more often than I used to before I retired, my skill has improved a lot.
