Very Early Retirement

This is the dream: retire at 28. You don't even have to be a millionaire, though I'm sure it would help. You can pack it all in, move to Florida like former head writer of the Letterman show Rodney Rothman, and spend your days lazily fishing for gefilte in a punchline-ready retirement community. But what if you get bored, is there life after retirement? You betcha. "He has turned his account of life there into a book called "Early Bird" (Simon & Schuster) and a television pilot under development with NBC Universal" reports NYT's Warren St. John who is no stranger to turning an account of life in southern parts of the country into a book. Hmm, didn't Seinfeld's Kramer already do this schtick? No mention in the article if Rodney ran for condo board president.
