Patrica:
(thinking) Things like it's OK for my son and I to hug. Appreciating family and friends more. Spending more quality time with my grandkids. Simlifying our lives a bit. Taking my Dad on some short trips.
(planning) The old update the will bit. Strongly considering a living trust. Starting a gifting schedule for our kids once we go on SS - because we don't need the money. Paying off the remaining mortgage at the end of the year. Documenting our end-of-life decisions. Tightening up our investments to make them more managable.
Nothing revolutionary really.

I always thought it was the time between the Dark Age and the Renaissance. You know, after all of the dragons were slain but before they invented that tweedly music by Vivaldi et al. HPH
Don't forget alchemy. It was in there some where.

Middle age is a great deal more painful than I thought it was going to be. I've got stuff that hurts now that I didn't know I had!

Way back when, of course, it was about transmuting lead into gold and stuff like that.
Now, of course, its connection to Middle Age is all about transforming, um, shall I say, limp apathy into rigid attentiveness via those blue pills, and various other analogous things.
Excellent observation, Dean!

If you think you're getting old consider this.......
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very
elderly widow and asked, "How old was your husband?" "98," she replied. "Two
years older than me." "So you're 96," the undertaker commented. She
responded, "Hardly worth going home, is it?

^^ Dave, for this lady middle age must have been about 75.
Dean, your sig indicates that you are moving from place to place; Froth to Fury! Reason why? How far apart are those colorful communities? I was thinking they must be somewhere near the geographical center of Vintage - but I'm not sure where that is.
