Lorie is here.
"One of your father's friends."
Can you guess her age.
"Uh, sixties, early to middle."
She is actually older than Pop, by about half a hear. She is 76, if my math is correct, or give or take a year. It's kind of amazing, isn't it?
Not long ago, Pop gave me the impression that she was falling fast. It was after an injury. When she hurt her ankle badly. Aside from not bouncing back so quickly, I got the idea that it was really take a lot out of her. But it looks like she has actually bounced back, after all.
I kind of wonder if I could still be pretty much as able as I am today when I am in my middle 70s, if I am even alive then. And unless Pop is still hobbling about in his hundreds, I don't see how I can be. But, still, I wouldn't mind having the years, good years. Aside from bread & board considerations, it will be a wonder if my eyes can hold out. Sometimes, I swear, my vision isn't going to last through my 50s.
"I wonder, if you are alive in your 70s, is you will still be a Solitaire maniac."
LOL Actually, the game is kind of perfect for that age. The sad thing is that I am not doing something more ... vital and living now.
"Now, now, don't get all sulky!"
It just seems to me that I never got to have my youth: that magical time of making friends and making love. I can still find it hard to believe that I was able to fail so fully as this. It must be a record.
"Well, that's something!"
LOL
