Hi Brian and All -
I've got to second the "never worked so damn hard" part of things - it's
true. But did you ever notice, a lot of us geezers who want to be
"salvaged" have done it for ourselves, just by getting out and DOING? A
great many of the things I'm busy with use elements of my career knowledge
and experience, but have nothing to do with science or industry.
Yeah, we'd be killers if we were 25 again with the knowledge and experience
we posess!!! BUT, today, in my 60's I've got a bunch of the "toys" I wanted
so badly when I was 25, and I'm not sure I'd want to give them up. The
Corvette, for one!!! Ha!
Y'all have a good one. Kelly
