    Not to be cliché, but I can't help thinking of Eric Idle whenever I try to picture something like this. He would've made a *great* (if short-lived) Groom of the Stool...

    A long and sadly typical story.
    Years to go? If I do it right, 2-3 tops.

    I'm 59 now, just ran my first trail half-marathon in 14 years.
    HOPE to run an ultra before the year is out. (Except, I said that last year, too. Hrmph.)
    (I used to do this sort of stuff, when I had a 40hr work week....)

    At age 40, I had a paid-for house, with two apartments on the second floor.
    Then, .....
    and then more.......

    ...and so now, 20 years down the pike.......


    Heh! And that's the short version.

    SO! LOOK FORWARD. CHIN UP. Learn more than you need to. Treat yourself, every now-and-then. Cuz sheeeee-it, no one else will. :wtf::cool:

    Advice from an old fart; Don't wait, don't put stuff off, you never know the future.
