30 years at age 52. Made it to MediCare. My new, younger wife is now on my insurance for the rest of her life.
Great union job with great benefits. They also paid for my college degree while I was still working. My only cost was for books.
74 years old and just came in from a 2 mile run that only took me 13 minutes.
I’m the luckiest man in the world. Half of it good luck and have of it Bad.
The Tao that is spoken of is not the Eternal Tao.
