Stan - You are truly an inspiration for those of us who are "only" pushing 
70.

Please keep up the good work and the great attitude.

true, the boat business is currently under water (except for the new
travel bar invention which is selling like 5 foot long hotdogs)

but my one good eye caught this

Brooks is right, I am so frail that when I enter a room with an area rug
I have to walk around it.

my doctor keeps saying what do you want for almost 90 - I know my math
so tell him two 45s.

10 years ago he gave me 10 more years, so any day now.    better order
those spare IMF masts:  $1500 for owners in good standing, 4,000 for
Certificate of Support violators.

Then he started writing me a prescription   I asked what are the side
effects   he read off the long list   when I told him I do not need that
drug, I already have all those side effect   he cut his 10 year estimate
down to 5.

when they were burying me 5 years ago I managed to lift up the lid of
the lowering box to get out one last tweet,  "Wait, I got it" but no one
listens to me

and that is why the boat business is currently under water.
