all these voices from the past.
i always knew that i would love retirement and i do.
don’t think i have ever been bored in my life. there’s
so much to see, do, read, talk about.
and when i’m out of debt next year… might add places
to go to that list!
there was an old man in a wheel chair at a costume party.
he went as a pregnant nun. he had a sign on the back of
the chair that said “i should have danced all night.”
when they lifted him into the car to head for home, he was
heard to say “i had so much fun!”
then he died.
true story. i knew him. and he would be pleased to know he’s
part of your blog now!

I won't be able to make the reunion, but if I had a magic wand I would certainly drop in. My sister told me she saw you at the last one and I've thought of you often since then. I have a lot of great memories from that time. I'll write to you in more detail by e-mail. Thank you so much for stopping by. Paul,

I saw your sister at the last one and she said you were doing well. The reunions are fun and it is nice to see the people we went to school with so long ago. Phyllis (Wells)and I live on a farm in Oregon. Have been here for 41 years, every since I left Lawrence Labs in 1969. Hope you will be able to attend the Pinole_Hercules Reunion on 9-25-10.

At that time, I certainly had more than just a spark of madness. Now, that spark has been converted into a raging fire!

I'm definitely a hugger and most of my loved ones aren't. This way I get my hugs and don't pester them. David, I just looked at the post and love it. I'll comment in a couple of days, when I get back home. Shilpan, I've looked at your latest post, too, and will comment when I get back. I'm even less success-oriented now than I was earlier in life, but I do like your site. The post about re-igniting our inner fire really resonated with me. Again, I'll write more when I get home.
