And I, "O>>>>>" scary one, is following your class by leaving 38 days BEFORE I
will be 78.
You really are old!?""@
In my family, retirement has appeared to lead directly - one way or another -
to demise, and I have yet to discover anyone who has turned the inevitability
of that ending. So, I have contrived to take advantage of all that time by
doing things that previous family have avoided.
1. I have mapped out a morning walk that is 10 miles from my house
but the required exact 1 mile - thus, I will return to my car when it is
finished.
2. I will return to our home and ride my bike around the block that
is NOT a mile and has no traffic.
3. I am purchasing a digital camera to capture images from all of my
sections - kept from 1965 to the present. Since this activity is considered a
punishment for putting it off for so long, it is clear that the effort will be
life prolonging.
4. I have been practicing my aiming at 100 yards for several years
now, and I will have time and energy to allot more time so that I can reach my
goal of hitting the bull's eye with 5 rounds in 1 minute. I have already made
it clear that I will not leave this effort undone for any reason. To make this
effort fun, I will load my own rounds to a tenth (0.1) of a grain. {You would
think that we would have left weighing by seeds behind us now that we have
grams; but I guess we will go to any length to avoid using metrics.
4.a. I have never been punished for joining the USMC when I needed a
vacation from from the rigors of Lehigh University. I enjoyed that hiatus so
much that I have always called Paris Island, "Pleasure Island." My older son
joined as well, but he calls it: "The bad place." He has placed his 5 rounds
in the bull's eye many times, and that explains my goal to achieve it just once.
5. Finally, I have signed a witnessed paper, under duress by my wife,
that I will not go first, and I do try not to break promises to her.
I hope that you have a similar set of activities in your plan. However, if
not, then would you like one of my ICS microtomes (at 2 micron intervals) to
keep your hand in rotating (otherwise known as 'cranking')? BTW, has anyone
EVER made a microtome for a lefty? Ah! If you were a lefty Bob, you would be
a pathologist, because you were never comfortable cutting sections! Wow! I
never thought of that before.
Cheers and reciprocating best wishes,

The old Samurai Pathologist - now retiring at 78 - thanks the many
histotechnologists who've kept him out of hot water the past 52 years.
Too bad we can't have more kids in search of a career reading Histonet - or
at least, the Help Desperately Needed notices!
