I wish that I could make some claim to memory fame, but the truth is that my earliest memories are pretty vague. I'm not ancient yet. That's still a few years off.

We normally kept around ten head of cattle back home. Three milkers, sometimes four, their four calves and a couple more yearlings and one bull…for macho purposes.

All I Want for Christmas - Jack H. Schick
I had trouble centering down during my meditation today.

The Minuses And The Pluses Of Growing Old According To One Who Knows - Joel Hendon
Age is a peculiar thing. So terribly many are not blessed to see it, so those of us who go beyond the average lifespan of our nation, our gender, should feel grateful.

Pet Peeves - Dianne Lehmann
Oh, you so do not want me to write about my pet peeves. And besides, no one can do that better than Andy Rooney did. But I don't think he thought of them that way.
