I've been retired for 35 years and will be 92 in a couple of months (if I last that long). Wife (who's 89) takes good care of me and I can honestly say that I have no "goals" left. A large, close, happy family, all living nearby makes for a comfortable glide towards the end. And if I'm...

My wife and I both got our COVID shots on Sunday. I also had my flu shot. Reccomende by our doc. on our last visit a week ago.

A little off-topic, but when I was in the Coast Guard boot camp (1953) at Cape May, NJ a unit was sent to Washington, to participate in a parade, we were issued the old Springfields (chromed metal and white painted stocks) . Left over ceremonial pieces. The standard ships armory had Garands...
