In this brief monologue, the speaker explains why he does not consider himself retired despite having left his formal job. He recounts his wife's insistence that he never truly retired, and he reflects on the dictionary definition of retirement as the act of leaving a job and ceasing work. While he has indeed left his position, he continues to work in other capacities, leading him to conclude that he has not retired in the true sense.
