Stand By Me is currently on TV. It was made in 1986 and set primarily 27 years earlier, in 1959. An equivalent movie, if it was made today, would be set in 1996.

This time next year, it'll be closer to 2050 than 2000.

Just realized one of my T-shirts recently celebrated its 10th birthday.

I think today was the third time I’ve worn it. To its credit, it still fits me.

I have 3 t-shirts left from the marathons I ran. The newest from the last marathon is 21 years old...

I was rebuilding a 1969 Piper Cherokee 180D.

A friend of mine, along with 3 others, owned a Piper Cherokee for 35 years. One of the group finally opted out and they accepted a new guy in ( I think they actually formed a company of 3 to operate the plane) but this guy was a hotdog and my buddy was wary of him. I don't remember what it was , but there was something you were not supposed to do on landing or you risked a crash. The other three told the guy not to do it but he did it anyway and wrecked the plane beyond repair. Scott was heartbroken. We had actually taken quite a few flights in that plane over the years, and he would let me fly it once aloft.

That’s why we can’t have nice things

I'm at that age where I'm old to the young people and young to the old people.

On a more somber note, a friend my age had a massive heart attack while driving and passed away.

It's this stuff that make me pause and realize that I am of the age of vulnerability. In my 20's and 30's, tip top health, could eat and drink anything and have no worries. Once I hit 50, the warranty started to expire and it kind of freaks me out........

I know what you mean, I think about my mortality also. You start to look at things differently, when I was younger, and I would get together with friends we would compare how much alcohol we drink, or how late we would stay up how many young ladies we met. Where as now we get together and compare medication’s. We will go to restaurants and strategically sit where we have a direct line to the bathroom or pick a movie it isn’t too long because we gauge how strong of the ladders are and whether not we can seat through a whole two and half hour movie. And then there are the times that I will speak to you my customers who are older than I am and complaining about my aches and pains and will ask me my age and when I tell them they’ll say that I’m still a young. I guess it’s all perspective.

Yeah I think about my expiration date more every year. This brings joy to many young people these days. Apparently boomers are to blame for all their woes.

I'll be 60 in a few months.....already had a few friends pass away.....it doesn't get easier but my advice is to keep moving, keep pushing and do as much physical exercise as you can....stay active.....stuff you likely already know....
