But it also might not be a full retirement given his upcoming plans, or it might just be considered a simple break as he put it:
“My wife (Anne Stringfield) keeps saying, ‘You always say you’re going to retire and then you always come up with something, I’m really not interested in retirement. I’m not. But I would work just a little less. Maybe.”
