Thanks.
One thing I'm really thankful for is that the hearing is still really good. My granddaughter is a speech pathologist, and she has checked me out. She says that she's astounded at how well I hear for my age. The mind is still sharp, the hearing is still good, but the body is going in the crapola. Some things that help: I read challenging books, do a lot of crosswords, listen to a lot of music, fool with my record collection a lot ... AND all of my friends are 20-30 years younger than I. That makes a difference.
We live in an age where people my age become invisible to the younger set. It's too bad because they could learn a lot from older folks. We not only know history, but we have also lived it. Unfortunately, some of that history is doing a U-turn and is about to bite us in the ass. Most young people are oblivious to it. Too bad for them. They will be paying dearly.
Take care ...
