I just got the nicest decline to review ever:
After more than 40 years at university with work weeks of 60-70 hours, I retired in 2010 and decided to limit work to 40 hours per week, concentrate on what I really like (=work with my students) and take more time for music and literature. One of the activities I terminated was reviewing research papers and grant proposals. I have reviewed hundreds of papers and grant proposals during my career and feel that I have contributed sufficiently. So please find another reviewer for this paper or research grant proposal.
That’s how you retire from science: you get to work like normal people. Awesome!

I agree. I formally retired in October 2012. I now don’t work evenings, but spend them with my long-suffering wife.
