Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me again asking why I didn't do something useful with my time. 'Like sitting around the pool and drinking wine is not a good thing' I said. Talking about my "doing something useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation. She was "only thinking of me" she said, and suggested I go down to the senior center and hang out with the guys. I did this and when I got home last night I decided to teach her a lesson about staying out of my business. I e-mailed her and told her that I had joined a parachute club. She replied, "Are you nuts? You are 73 years old, and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?" I told her that I even got a membership card and e-mailed a copy to her. She immediately telephoned me, "Good grief, where are your glasses! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club." "Oh man, I'm in trouble again; I really don't know what to do... I signed up for five jumps a week." The line went quiet and her friend picked up the phone and said that my daughter had fainted. Life as a senior citizen is not getting any easier but sometimes it can be fun.

SG, my dad is just 5 years older but in total mental disorder. The reason for this is that he didn't pursue any mental or physical activity after retirement. You are in great shape man!! I realized this when you corrected my geometry regarding the compound radius thingy!!! WOW!!!! If your daughter speaks with criticism (useful etc...) again tell her that you are very much useful to yourself!

I have it on good authority that our beloved sg is in reality no older than MS-DOS . . . ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)
