I am skiing and playing tennis more than ever. And most of the time, there are people in the group who are older and better than I am, which inspires me to keep at it. Who knows, maybe I can still improve.
I'm also a blackjack dealer at casino parties and a newsletter editor. Since my recent cataract surgery, I am celebrating my new, improved eyesight, and as a new Lions Club member, I hope I can help others take care of theirs, too.
I agree with mytimetotravel: Reading that their daughter learned to ride her bike inside the house made me wonder about this AI family. I guess it could have been worse than a chipped floorboard.
It's been 15 years for me. At age 50, my situation seemed so straightforward: Surgery was the most logical, thorough choice. I cannot imagine anyone better suited than you, Dr. Dailey, to make such difficult decisions. I admire your fluid approach and your willingness to share it with us.
Did it surprise anyone else here that a WSJ feature last month ("The Biggest Mistakes People Make When Picking a Medicare Plan") concluded that the best choice for most people is a Medicare Advantage plan?
I actually identify with your son aspiring to be a gas station attendant.
When my dad would pull into the Texaco for $3 worth of regular, I was always enthralled with how clean a squeegee could get a windshield and
also how you could have a miniature bank right there in your pocket to make change. (I guess nowadays this kind of dream is confined to kids in Oregon and New Jersey.)
Re: Your lede topic ... Changing your diet so you pass the physical exam -- isn't that like slowing down on the freeway just because you see a police car waiting up ahead? I am a fellow prediabetic and avid exerciser, with an upcoming physical, determined to adopt some healthful habits, maybe even some that will be maintained. (And I suspect we both obey speed limits, within reason.) As for the Checkup, I found it very useful and encouraging, but then I consider Humble Dollar itself a daily checkup.

Don't be shy about asking for follow-up assistance, either. They might continue to impress you.
