Outdoor Adventures

This kind of pea soup is GROSS!

Ksquared, when you go outdoors, just grab a big ol' spoon and think of the thick air as comfort food. <g>

Thought of you last night during a story, probably a rerun, on 60 Minutes. It was about elderly people who've continued to work or who've gone back to work after retiring. An employer talked about the advantages of having older workers, mostly revolving around their work ethic. As expected, the main disadvantage is their resistance to change. A woman said that she came back from vacation to find a PC on her desk and immediately resigned. But her boss told her she was going to learn how to use the computer, and she did and was pleased that it made her work easier. It was amazing to see people in their 90s still functioning fairly well, like a 97-year-old barber. My favorite line came from a very old man who operates a power shovel ... "I tried retirement for about 30 days and it like to drove me crazy." After 8 years, I'm not quite looney yet but know that I'd be better off in some sort of organized daily activity like a job.

It's nice to see that you're getting to join us lazy folk for a day.
