Dec 31
The last day of 2017 is upon us. and good riddance to this year. It has not been a good year for me, and I guess 2018 will not be great until the divorce is final. But it is something to get through, and be better for it. No other way to look at it.
At 59 yrs old, I look at how much sand is left in the top half of the hourglass. If I make it to 80, that is 21 more years - a decent amount of time, but a lot less than what I have lived so far. Makes me wonder how did 59 years pass so quickly...you wake up one day and realize you are getting old. but it beats the alternative. all the more reason to live life to its fullest...each day. because we only get a certain amount of days, and most of us don't know what that number is.
The last bears game of the season is on now. a few good college games on tomorrow, then back to work Tuesday.
happy New Year, all. here's hoping 2018 is a good year.
update - I read a story that Nepal is banning double amputees and blind people from climbing Mt. Everest. I have nothing against the handicapped, but should that even be an issue? Of course, both double amputees and blind people would no doubt be a better climber than I am. I will just have to save the 80 grand it costs to climb Everest. Plus, I bet I am a much better golfer than most Sherpas.
