GOOD FOR YOU !! Makes some of us feel like maybe we can maintain a normal working environment for a lot longer than we thought. The general feeling is that once you reach a certain age, " you're toast !! " What a crock that is. I feel great and intend to keep working for as long as my skills are able to earn me enough money to pay for my membership at my golf club, where I'm still in the top 2% of the better players. I'm treated better by most of the guys now, than when I was younger. I think many of these same people like to see me still playing [pretty well,] so it makes them think they can , also. We all start to feel our mortality , as we get older. We all have to go someday, but I plan to resist it as long as possible. One way , is to keep working, and hopefully, father time will ignore us . A fellow asked me if I had done this work all my life . My answer was , " NOT YET ". I am 70, and married to the same lady for 47 years. I expect to send a similar message , 10 years from now, and hopefully you are all here to read it. Carl / Winnipeg.
