Wife and I spent last weekend away from home. Three days, in all, at a moderately distant seaside town, as guests of the current members of our former profession.
Twelve of us "oldies" had a wonderful time of reminiscence at three heavy-eating and (potentially) heavy drinking dinners, and we sat, sometimes jealously, through business sessions showing that our successors were managing "quite nicely, thank-you" without us.
But I learned somewhat sadly, that "I ain't the man I used to be!" We've been home a day and a half now and, despite the fact that I've been asleep for at least half of that time, I'm still yawning!
Perhaps it's true that "Nothing exceeds like Excess! I just hope I'll ready for that fitness class, tomorrow morning.
Nevertheless, if they ask us again I'm sure we'll all line up again and, yes, it is nice to be remembered.

Running out of puff
Yes, I relate to that. My wife and I also head off to the Athletic Club tomorrow (Monday) to do our stretches and exercises. Like you, we start out by asking ourselves why we are doing this. But, I do think we need this.
