TOO OLD TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING OLD

You can't be too old for most things you want to do. If you're up to it, you can travel. You can ride the roller coaster.

If little labour, little are our gains: Man's fate is according to his pains. — Hesperides 752 (1650) Industry need not wish, as Poor Richard says, and he that lives upon hope will die … Continue reading PAIN AND GAIN?

HERE’S TO US … WE MADE IT!

I'm not one of those people who romanticizes the 1950s, but there are some truths worth remembering and revisiting. I grew up in a very different world. Play meant using imagination. It mean physical activity. Jump rope, hide and seek, tag, Stick ball (no one owned a real bat). Stoop ball, jacks. Building a "fort" or … Continue reading HERE’S TO US … WE MADE IT!
