''get a dog.'' and all that that implies... my wife insisted we get a dog. she passed suddenly 2 months later. i retired the following year. that dog gets me out of bed [literally] every day. two bad knees, but rarely a bad attitude.

at 65, so happy i have outlived my immediate and extended family. my departed wife was in the same position. we both spent our self employed professional lives providing, ''home services'' in different arenas. after living amongst families, we never missed ''family''.

...but the point is, who makes you, or me, the arbiter? so much room for debate, but both sides, ''take the money and run'' i would like to have congressioanal debates, but i know it will never happen. the best i can do [on a personal level] is to take my tax dollars off the table. for me, that means off grid, homestead. more people are doing it every day. i am happy to join their ranks.
