We have this mistaken notion in America that people become "obsolete" somewhere between 55 and 60. I say that's nonsense and I plan to "peak" when I'm 85! I think my best years are yet to come!

One of the best things about this site is the collection of wisdom and knowledge that we have gained by living a while. My father used to tell me, "you'll soon be as smart as I am, probably already are - but you will never be as wise as I am until you have lived as long as I have." He's been gone fifteen years now and I think I'm starting to understand what he was talking about..

Wise words,indeed..I see no reason to stop when you turn 60/65..Gene Winfield and Bill Hines are mid to late eighties,,still doin it..if you enjoy it,keep going..My late father retired at 60,but kept busy,doing what he had to,and what he wanted to,right up till about 6 months before he passed,and I hope the good Lord keeps me tickin happily till the same age..
