Same here, and friend boy do I feel lucky and blessed. At this point in life I can number friends, acquaintances, and family members at least as deserving as I (many more so) who had their chances to continue with this thing called life cut short. While I don't enjoy the slowing down, I am glad to be more thankful each day. Silent | |||

Many of us are sir. Just the other day I was doing a particularly difficult case and nothing was going right. I made the comment, "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking". One of the nurses, a cute young thing, looked up at me and said, "I didn't know you smoked." Sigh.... ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Reference The previous post, in 10 years I will be 92. I'm still going and if my pacemaker keeps going I am still strong, thanks to the VA. NOT ready to be planted! Officers lives matter! | |||

You're younger than I am and I'm not admitting it. I have not yet begun to fight! - John Paul Jones "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

I'm 50 in 1 week. I used to be the youngest, quickest, hungriest wherever I went. Now I'm the oldest (tech industry), but wiser and better than the foolish young man I was. What leaves me scratching my head is I have been with my wife 30 years, married 25 this New Year's Eve. Seems to have gone by in a blink, and I'm jealous of the time we have each day as well as the time I get to spend with our children. I've had a plate put in my neck and 4 shoulder surgeries in last 6 years. I'm truly blessed to be here and plan to enjoy my next 50 years “Forigive your enemy, but remember the bastard’s name.” -Scottish proverb | |||
