FOR RETIRING BABY BOOMERS, THE DIMMING OF THE AGE OF AQUARIUS CAN PRESENT CHALLENGES. PROFESSIONALS ARE STANDING BY TO HELP. BUD ROBERTSON is 62, recently retired, and wealthy enough after a long business career that he doesn't have to work another day in his life. He's in great shape, is full of energy, and lives in a big house in Groton, Mass., that looks like an antebellum mansion uprooted from a Georgia plantation. Divorced for six years, he has time to spend with his girlfriend, three sports cars - a 1958 Bugeye Sprite, a 1956 Chevy hardtop, and a 1981 Corvette - and his two children and five grandchildren. But don't envy Bud Robertson. In fact, hang out with him for a while, and you almost feel bad for the guy. Because on a recent spring morning he is not lounging at home in his pajamas or snorkeling in the Bahamas. Instead he is sitting in a conference room in Boston with Mike Jeans, the president of a firm called New Directions that, among other services, helps retired executives like Robertson figure out what to do with themselves when they can't boss people around anymore.
