Gwickley: OT: Thanks for the wonderful retrospective. I am 59 myself and when was a young child in the fifties we had a Studebaker, strange looking little aeronautically engineered car but it eventually gave way to a Plymouth station wagon when my sister arrived. As for this younger generation and the incessant craving for instant gratification, I just don't get it. Did we somehow insidiously instill this in our children - - they say it's us mothers, you know. My children (all of legal age now but I wouldn't go so far to call all of them "adults") don't seem to understand that they just can't have all the bells and whistles RIGHT NOW like those of us who have worked hard to take care of them, then managed to put a little aside for our own enjoyment later on. From whence comes this impatience, do you think? And I believe I remember my grandfather (a railroad accountant for MKT way back when) buying a little stock here and there when I was a kid, by telephone of course.

Thanks again for your words of well earned wisdom, and the good perspectives you post regularly here. Hope you enjoyed your nap; I understand completely about the meds but don't have the nurse quite yet.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "WHAT A HELL OF A RIDE" ! ! ! I could already do that if I died in the next five minutes; hope you can say the same.

Be well.
