Russ, Interstate 95 goes straight up to RI ... just 'up the road apiece' from Fran, Donny, and Dave ... and you can drop in to say hi to FrankieV on the way ... ROAD TRIP !!!

Tony, my suggested group of Fran, Dave, Donny and I was to suggest silliness, comradeship and FUN. You and I could have a fabulous time in a studio setting (with plenty of "side trips" for relaxation) casually laying down tracks of styles and tunes of common interest.

A different kind of friendly interaction, but every bit as valuable on an interpersonal level.

I'm going to work on that.

All the best,


Russ

I agree with all you are saying but I have two people who have not yet reached "old age"

My son-in-law has stage 3 T cell lymphoma ( non Hodgkins ) and his prospects are looking very poor. He is only mid 40's.

I also have a friends daughter in her mid 40's who has had a double mastectomy and they have now found cancer in her spine. Once again, prospects very poor.

I feel extremely lucky to have reached the age of seventy two and would like to go on longer but if that is not possible then I have not been robbed of my life. I've enjoyed every minute of it and will continue as long as I can.

Count your blessings. Many people have not made it this far.

Alan.

Hey, I like fun TOO !!!

Keep in mind that every day is a good day, just some days are better than others.
