So no remaining life ambitions of any kind?

 I have a few things that would be cool to do, but if I don't do them, no big
deal. Like see a Premier League or Bundesliga match in person.

So what's stopping you, now that you're retired?
Hop on an airplane to Europe and just do it.
It looks like one can get tickets for ~US$100 each for next Saturday's match in Mainz, Germany ... and maybe look up Peter Kohlman to do a meet-up if you care to do that too:

And a midweek flight from Charleston to Frankfurt (5/8-11) starts at $612/pp-RT ... not bad for short notice and early summer:

Mainz is just a half hour from Frankfurt - invariably easy/cheap to do on a local train, even if one chooses to stay in Frankfurt and do as a daytrip.

I'm pretty content to watch soccer, ride the bike, write code and documents,
drink good brews, and enjoy being a grampy.

Because a genuine German beer on tap in Germany isn't a "good" brew?  /s
Bonus: take a grandkid if they're old enough to remember the experience.
