I read both of those in high school. I was a real fan of Bradbury. I think you will like Fahrenheit 451. It will make you think ...

Mornin' everbody. Kind of a sad day today. A long-time neighbor and friend passed away early this morning. It wasn't unexpected, they had been in poor health for some time. But it really brings up the point of how the neighborhood is changing.

I'm sorry to hear that. This neighborhood is NOTHING like what it was when I moved in. I'm rapidly becoming the old lady here. I think there's only 2 gals older than me on this block now. Everybody else is younger.
Morning!
Mornin' everbody. Just waiting on the final part of my IBEW retirement to go through..............finally. After all the paperwork screwups, it will be nice not to have deal with them anymore.

When Grumpy retired we went down to OLERS to get his paperwork done. The gal behind the desk said "And Michelle is to get your benefits if you pass before her, is that correct?"
That's all fine and dandy except MY name is NOT Michelle. That's his ex-'s name. So ... For the 15 years we had been married at that point if anything had happened to him she would have gotten his LE benefits. I remember him telling me he took care of all that when we got married. Now you know why I am the Minister of Finance around here. Lol And knowing what I know about that office and my husband there is no telling who screwed up. 
It's just better if I take care of it ... Whatever it is ...
Mornin' everbody. Another day in retirement. probably go for a walk later, then watch Forged in Fire tonight. Exciting. huh?

Retirement is great...
...now, get out there and find something to do.
Or, take a nap after the walk.
To add to the above comment I made, seriously, be sure to find something to do. I've known of too many that retired and sat at home watching TV that didn't seem to live very long after their retirement.
In our case, it began with traveling in our RV (20 months in Colorado, 17 months in Oregon, and 9 months in Utah) where in we got to go see and photograph a lot of sites. After that and deciding to stay in OK, we had the opportunity to take up the offer to do our Summer jobs that lets us still continue to see new country.
