“Lately you’ve noticed people your age are so much older than you.”

That is so true! I walk by a mirror and say “who is that old person?”

Also, the craziest thing is happening. I have blonde hair, which gets lighter blonde with each passing year. But when I get a haircut and it falls to the ground … somehow the fall turns it white?? Must be the altitude.

I’ll be visiting friends in Florida in March after a Panama Canal Cruise. Traveling throughout the state and then winding up in Palm Coast with friends who recently built a house there.

Who knows, maybe?

Enjoy the cruise. I loved Panama and would have retired there except my wife had some health issues. You should enjoy Palm Coast and it is a lot cheaper living in Florida than Mexifornia.

True, except the weather is a lot nicer in California. Last Christmas Day it was 61 degrees where I live and 41 degrees in Palm Coast. And we don’t have the brutal humid summers that Florida has. Everything is a trade off.

I lived in California from 1961 to 1977 except when I worked in Papua New Guinea 71/72. Lived in Santa Monica, West Los Angeles, Riverside then Salinas. I hear you about the weather but I will take the trade off with the cheaper living.

...So, you drive across town to a gym to walk on a treadmill?...


The gym is air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter. Spring is rainy. In the fall I take a walk locally.

I've made it this far. I deserve some comfort when I'm working.

I think, "Your call is important to us. Please enjoy this 40-minute flute solo". should be, "Your call is important to us. Please enjoy this 30 second flute solo repeated 75 times."

"Your call is important to us, but not important enough to spend the money to hire enough phone answering personnel".
