In many ways I agree SA. I guess every generation says the same as it changes so drastically over their lifetime and they long for what they remember and are comfortable with. My Pop says the same thing at 88. Occasionally I say the same, that it is all going to hell in a hand basket.
I am glad life is finite. Why people go too crazy lengths to live longer or forever is silly. I passed on my best effort with my daughters. No regrets from me. I have lived and continue to live a great life which is probably why my demeanor is always laughing and smiling. No stress, no worries, no debt and a nice place to call home and a temple near by where my wife will have me torched when the time comes and we close the book.
Beautiful morning here btw. 17c, slight morning breeze and some baseball on soon. Few calls for work and done for the day except for what I want to do. It's an open book and lots of area to go do it.
