Heh,
I've been journaling, but stopped reading the main page long before that.
Working on a report for someone in her late 70s over the phone, i lamented on being 50 when i took off my glasses and got close to the laptop to read the small letters on the screen. Her response: Ah, to be 50 again.

Ha!
I guess i have what to look forward to then.

Well, i just did a POST and after verifying it worked, i thought to myself, "that was my first post". At which point, i felt a strong need to post that here.
There is a Michigan Left directly opposite the exit of a busy parking lot. It's difficult to explain a mindset, but there are three major reasons you exit: to go straight to the turnaround, to turn right onto the street, to turn right and get on the freeway. All three options are common.
my condolences
