Re-tired: New Tread episodes:

April 10, 2026 Re-tired Ep. 123: Deflated Tire Days
Tina asks Sue how she recovers from "deflated tire days". Of course a metaphor comes up, and Sue offers going with the flow. More seriously, the gals used the wisdom that age has graced them to identify helpful tools: looking at the big picture, gratitude, improvization, perspective, reducing the impact of a media diet, and the importance of fun and silliness.

April 03, 2026 Re-tired Ep. 122: Weddings
After Sue got back from her nephew's wedding, Tina asks what has changed about weddings of the 80s to those of today. Her recollections of sitting at a table of strangers during receptions pretty much brought up not so bright memories. Thankfully, Sue enjoyed her time with family and seeing young people doing things their own way. Of course, dancing "The Elaine" was something those outside the re-tired generation had never see!

March 27, 2026 Re-tired Ep. 121: Rhetorical Silliness
In a silly, sophomoric conversation, Tina and Sue play with rhetorical language. From their favorite devise, metaphor, to alliteration, analepsis, and chiasmus, to onomatopoeia and similie, it's all about the fun of figurative language. Yes, they are nerds.

March 20, 2026 Re-tired Ep. 120: Toastmaster Tina
Tina announces her New Tread -- Toastmasters! As Re-tired teachers, both she and Sue find a lot of crossover and value in the practice of working on refining language.

March 13, 2026 Re-tired Ep. 119: Would You Rather?
A 'would you rather' conversation seems to always bring up the crazy and the profound. Be stranded in the desert or ocean or Antartica? Dance through life or sing instead of talking? More money or more time? Tina and Sue discuss topics as they relate to their Re-tired state of mind.

March 06, 2026 Re-tired Ep. 118: What Teaching Taught Us
Tina and Sue reflect on what they learned during their teaching careers. They recognize that being a teacher helped them be better parents by building an awareness of the behaviors, attitudes, and learning styles they experienced with their students and families. Teaching also gave them insights into who they are, forming boundaries, and adopting helpful habits. Sending teachers in the field, on the front lines today all their best hopes and wishes.

February 27, 2026 Re-tired Ep. 117: Rite of Passage
Sue shares her experience with a common "rite of passage" that many re-tired people experience -- cataract surgery. The gals discuss, with the hope to quell any unease that folks might have about the procedure. You can "see" why it's an enlightening rite of passage.

No, the gals aren't jaded! Maybe it's Tina's AI team of Bjorn and Kera cheating on her. Maybe it's antiquated ideas of romanticism and expectations. Tina and Sue celebrate the 14th as a day to embrace friendship. As for the 13th, just don't step on a crack!
