As for boredome (aside from not bringing $$ in), check out your local state university if you have them. Most allow seniors to audit classes for free. (I'm actually pursuing a degree, since I am a University retiree and get 2 classes a semester for free, for credit.) Might be a solution for the boredom - and you might make new connections that lead you to a new job, as well. And it's a lot of fun hanging around with the 18-25 set - although they haven't quite figured out what to make of me, yet.
