I get your point exactly, Richard. I feel it strongly. I'd also like to warn you that you are still a youthful (by comparison) 76. When you get to 80, in my experience, things really start to fall apart. I've just canceled a trip to NYC simply because the mechanics of transporting myself there, let alone pounding the concrete pavement and the marble floors (of museums) are more than my weakened limbs can bear. But taking a bold new step like the one you're about to launch is different--change, shifting gears, waking up in a brand new place, it's all revitalizing. Congratulations!
A painfully accurate metaphor. I keep thinking my old energy will return. But the repo man can't take my heart. At least not while it's still beating. And it's full of gratitude and peace that wasn't available to me in my younger years. I wish you years of joy ahead, Richard.

Your prose is ageless!
I'm glad something is.
Thanks, Nancy. We do the best we can, don't we?
What a perfect response to the repo man. Young love. Love your words, Richard.
Thanks so much, Kat.

What a great thought. No, the repo man can't take my heart! Thanks for that thought!
