SUMMONER'S TALES...
"I think it takes a lot of skill and practice to retire. You need to have thought it out. What will you do? Are you gonna take up oil painting? Fly fishing? Sail around the world? I'm gonna carry on what I'm doing until I find a better plan. I like this job. I'm very proud of my age. I think as you get older, you should become wiser, become a sage, which is still my ambition. I'd like to get there."
