    Thanks Hilary! I suppose it appears I was writing from that perspective, however, I have some years to go yet.

    Brian- It does show up in lots of equations, doesn't it.

    I think 60 is also the number of times I have to tell my kids to stop doing something before they actually listen to me. :-)

    Nicky- I can just imagine...like talking to a brick wall, only the wall pays more attention?

    G-Man- Thank you for such a thoughtful comment. It did take a few minutes to make it fit.

    Hilary- 60 as the new middle age...good to know as I continue to move in that direction. There's still a lot ahead of me, too.

    I'm one of the folks Hilary knows.

    60's not so scary. It's actually pretty interesting. In mostly good ways. ;)
