    Yep, we're both turning into old coots. I'm old enough to remember a time if you had 20 G's in the bank, you could retire and live off it ...

    From email I received a month ago:

    -A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
    -A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
    -A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

    Next time I'm out your way, we can dig them up, curse them, and bury them again. I find it very therapeutic myself
