Good God, what a relief

Thought for today from this morning's meeting, chaired by a gentleman named Red. Red's an octigenarian who could be Mark Twain's identical twin, who keeps up a running patter worthy of Will Rogers in a gravely Texas accent.

You probably had to be there, but I'm still lauging. It's given me an entirely new perspective on life. I feel like I was blind, and now I see.

Thanks Brookie, it's great to know the older set are still out there helping the rest of us. I wish I was there.
Love, Kit

I can't wait to turn 73 so I can put that in my signature line.
I love those longtimers.
