A guy named Andrew D. Blechman wrote a book called "Leisureville: Adventures in America's Retirement Utopias". In his book he tries to make retirement villages sound excting. Or he tries to make some kind of social statement about old people retiring, how they drop out of normal civilization, you know - some kind of blathering drivvel. See, what happened is a couple friends of his retired to "The Villages", he visited them, and decides to write some kind of book about...people retiring? I guess that's what it's suposed to be about. Anyway, he uses the retirement village "The Villages" located about an hour northeast of Tampa, as an example of an exciting retirement village.
And guess what? I have been to "The Villages" and it trully is a bizarre place. It's like a small residential town out in the middle of nowhere, and they have a Main Street, a kind of Village Square, and a whole bunch of crazy souped up golf carts. Everything has this surreal Disney World type feel to it. You know, that whole "nothing out of place" thing They also have a halfway decent seafood restaurant, which is why I ended up there.
So anyway, it was Saturday night, we decided to check out the town, and discovered that they had $1 margaritas at the village square, while some guy playd old Bob Seeger songs and stuff. It was kind of interesting, and $1 margaritas are a bargain even if it does take a dozen to give you a buzz, so we hung around. Until 9 PM, when everything closed down and everybody got in their golf carts and drove home. OR DID THEY????
I guess that is what the books all about. They say that there is a chapter devoted to a guy who the author calls "Mr. Midnight" who goes around having sex with women. I have a feeling that the book would be a lot less interesting without the retiree sex.
Anyway, in case you were thinking of buying this book, I think I can tell the whole story in less than 250 pages.
-
Old people often retire to Florida, and live in retirement villages.
-
The places they retire to are kept nice by non-retirees. They still have a job, which is keeping the retirement villages nice. The retirees don't mind this, as they are retired and don't really want to work.
-
Sometimes retirees have sex. Sometimes they do it in secret.
So there you have it. Retirees sometimes have sex. That's just the way life is. Deal with it.
