When will you "call it a day"

[JJ]

I always said I'd do it till I was 60, and then decide on a year-by-year basis depending on my ratings, enthusiam, and how well my body is holding up. It just seems a shame to me to arbitrarily pick a date when I've worked so hard for so many years to get to the level I am at now. If I pay attention to the three criteria I outlined, the choice will, for the most part, be made for me.

Well, the choice has been made for me. Had hip replacement 17 months ago, and had my best year ever in 2009. At Christmas that same hip started bothering me. Bottom line, after a bunch of tests, it will be replaced - again - in a week. Scratch me for 2010. But not yet for 2011.
Have fun out there, guys!

Hang in there. Work hard and get back into it if you still have the urge. Good luck w/ everything.

Man, I hope all goes well. I am supposed to have a valve in my heart replaced in 6 months to a year from now, and it has me quite concerned too. Plus, I have to drop at least 30 more pounds before I can have the surgery.
