If I were 30 I might well feel as you do that the future, at least the near future, contains a lot of "suck". At 72 I've been "around the block" more than a couple of times and given this isn't how I planned on spending my retirement (just retired in 23) we don't necessarily get to pick the time in which we live but we do get to choose how we live in the time we find ourselves. One my favorite t-shirts says "don't piss off old people - The older we get the less "life in prison" is a deterrent." Truth be told.

Then I hope you can understand the very functional basis of my advocacy here. I am not venting. I am working.

For what it is worth, you are a very young 72 :)

Thanks. Nice of you to say so. Sometimes the knees remind me of the "sins of my youth" , like playing linebacker for three years in Jr. and Sr. high football. Otherwise doing OK. :)
