That's a pretty good reason!

I'm planning to retire in 12 months - I'll be 70 and that seems reason enough to me, but I'm always interested to hear other people's reasons and I heard a good one today.  It was reported on the news this morning that US Congressman Dingle has announced his intention to retire at the end of this term.  He's 87 and gave as his reason that he didn't want people to say he stayed too long.  That seems like a good reason.  The reporter went on to say that the congressman's wife will probably run for his seat - no mention of how old she is.  I love it.
