Not exactly a response but ... as it is a New Year, a window into the future, of years to come.. What you gonna do for the next thirty-nine years, it’s plausible, my grandfather made it to 89, some of his children into their nineties, one of my uncles who passed this summer was 90. My own father and mother reached 84 give or take a few months. George Burns was 100 and still came to work regularly and was good for a case or two of Absolute every Christmas. Oh. They weren’t all for us grunts. I don’t recommend smoking a cigar everyday but it worked for him. You’ve got one life to live and one bucket to kick you might as well make the best of it, it’s the only one you’re going to get, Maybe you’ll get to retire, I was fortunate enough to do that when I was 28, wait those years don’t count, I think it was 48, however if the economy continues the way it is I may have to give up some property or reverse that. You may want to travel. I’ve been on a number of cruises, and they’re fun sort of, might go to south American and China, the wife wants to go to Europe.. I don’t have the interest.. you might write that book you’ve been trying to get too, everyone has a life story and few on top of that, might go back to school.. sounds like a bucket list, I don’t think I’ll be jumping out of any planes. But I might make it to Alaska, looks like Tony D found a pretty good fishing hole there. I won’t be backpacking at least not with my wife.. that ended the first year of marriage, one trip to some lakes 10 miles back in the Wind River Range did it for that.. I had to coax her every ten yards.. and between the sweat and tears we finally made it.. and I was carrying half her pack. The fishing was great, beautiful 14 to 16 inch trout with finest fat pink meat you’ll ever come across… and I did let a lot of them go. I guess there are a lot of things left to do and places left to go.. I say try and stay healthy, stay away from younger women, the girls can have all the younger men that they want… that’s what I tell my wife but she still pesters me.. plan a little bit and enjoy what’s to come. Happy New Year and God Bless those that are living and those that have passed.

So what kind of pets you all got, I’ve got a rabbit, Fang the 834th. So many generations I can’t keep track. He stands guard at the refrigerator.. lest someone opens it and drops something for him to eat? If that doesn’t happen he takes it upon himself , jumps right in and explores. Terrible choice of pet, chewed up more computer cords, electrical cords, rugs, than he’s worth. If I get to it I'll upload a photo of our "love child" my wifes love child.. he's just another bowl of stew to me..
