I just had a thought that made me feel really really old..... This was the thought..... "I was born in Florida, but left there over half a century ago".... HALF A CENTURY!!!!!! dang, I can apply "half a century" to things that happened in my life..... dang I'm old

I was chatting with someone on the plane back from Pheonix over the weekend. He was down there playing in a water polo tournament. I played water polo as a segment of a year long PE swimming class in high school, which was over 40 years ago. That was pretty brutal.

In related news, do you have a retirement date yet? I'm counting on you to retire before me, so I can pretend I'm not as old as I look!

Could be May this year, but more likely between May 2026 and April 2027.

We're neck in neck.

I'm eligible, but still like my job, so I think will probably stick it out for at least another year or two. It's nice having options.

I think we'll end up staying in this area, at least as long as the kids are here, but might snowbird to Sun City or someplace like that. The idea of 70F Winters is pretty appealing.

My mom just turned 80 and my dad's 90. They're both in good health and are still sharp. I hope I'm as active and mentally fit as they are when I get to their age. And I have to say, that retirement lifestyle is pretty nice in the Phoenix area. I thoroughly enjoy visiting them, toodling around on the golf cart and dipping in the hot tub or pool at least once per day.

Kids; 1 in Virginia, moving to Philadelphia this year. Another in NYS should be heading to New England in a couple years. And if things go as planned I should be heading back to New England when I retire. I like NH and Me.

My mother just went into a Nursing home at 93 and not doing great. She was not doing to bad,, living on her own, she was suffering with back pain, but then ended up with Pneumonia, the Flu and a UTI all at the same time, she got though that, but it took a lot out of her and after that she had to go to rehab and now a nursing home. If I go to New England I will have to figure out how to move her... but I will cross that bridge when I get to it

My body is a wreck, but my biggest fear is to slip mentally. It doesn't run in my family perse' but both my parents died relatively young from cancer.

Dagnabit! You've got me realizing that now!

Why don't you stick to picking on trees, instead of innocent old men...
