It seems like increasingly few of us are free to pursue life on whatever terms they wish. Many seem to have trouble replacing comparable employment after age 50.
My wife and I were in lowes buying some allegedly necessary crap. Other even older hunchy dudes were following their old ladies down long aisles. Agh. They might be going to lunch at hometown buffet. Then I went to a dentist for medical type care like an old dude. I can’t do it. I can’t be off all the time.
I do have a vision of being able to help my kids with material assistance in child care, either personally or with money. That was by far the most stressful financial struggle of my life.
Temecula …old traditions, new opportunities (I think that’s the town motto)
