To me it becomes a sign of old age when that's ALL old people look forward too...its even worse when they decide to watch it on TV vs. go out and actually play it.

Although that is something I personally want to do. It's about defying the society-made odds against older people. It's the big myth: Old age is bad and old people suck and are worthless. NOT. EVEN. CLOSE. Older people make a choice: They can become sulky miserable folk or they can participate in life. And they can do just about anything they want. We need look no further back into history to the Depression era to see this as fact...Grammah's and Grandpa's working the family farms; taking day jobs, odd jobs..whatever it took to help the family stay afloat. Older people have lost the respect of modern culture because they're not as sexy and good looking anymore. To most this is the only value people h have. I plan to live life to it's fullest. I live each day as if it's my last and I want to live to be 100, and enjoy every second of it. Not become some rotten grouchy crotch who is an invalid by choice, who choses to become a hermit and who dies lonely and full of bitterness. No thanks. Course I know I could die tomorrow in an accident...or get DX with cancer and live a short year. Reality is always there. But we do make choices and I intend to defy the the cultural expectations.

Very blessed to be married to Frau Vader for 25 wonderful years, especially in these dark, materialistic and SINsational times! I thank God often for this blessing... very fortunate and lucky I guess! There’s no golf courses out there… just sand traps on the beaches?

Well then you're my hero. I've been trying to detach from land for the last damned 8 years. (Bitter? I'm not bitter.) I'm no closer now than I was in 2000. As a matter of fact, I'm probably further away from the goal as Golf Guy continues to become more focused on...golf. A life at sea (even for a little while) seems to be slipping away. Maybe I should settle for living on a mountain. Guaranteed? Well then you’re my hero.
