They say, ÒWith age comes wisdomÓ. I am not so sure about that, but I have lived 69 years and seen much of it, done most of it, and know a lot of it, so maybe there is some truth to that adage. Having recently retired and not liking it (yet), but liking to write and tell stories, I have decided to expound upon a few topics which are practical or sad or opinionated or downright funny. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have enjoyed writing them.
