You make me feel so young…I’m a mere 61, but about to become a mother for the first time. (My step-daughter drew up the adoption papers and presented them on Mother’s Day. We should get them filed next week.) Any news from Vera, Chuck and Dave? 😉 Glad to have some grown ups around. ---

When do you become eligable for full Social Security? Are you looking forward for that date or have you decided to keep working…assuming you haven’t chosen to retire already? As you look ahead, how different to you feel now than you felt when you were 40? As you look back is there anything you’d have done differenlty? Oh, and 56. You beat me. But my memebership number is 39. As long as Opal, Jeff and the administrators stay out of here I’ll have something to rule. ---

HEY YOU KIDS! GET OUTTA THAT JELL-O TREE! I’m old enough to remember that, which is more than I can say for a lot of people. Still, only 33 until Friday. ---

65, and I intensely dislike it. I used to love to go to the basketball courts and just shoot around. I found my old Voit the other day and the needle, so I went to a gas station and pumped it up, then went to the park to get some exercise. I can’t make turns anymore (just sort of wide u-turns) and could only walk to chase my misses, which I estimate to be around 95%. I was (and am) crestfallen.
