I can afford to travel anywhere in the Metro Vancouver region, as I have a bus
pass good for all zones. One of my disability benefits -- I'd rather walk it
all, to tell  you the truth, but what can you do?

I'm staying close to hime as covid is a nasty thing & too many people don't get
it.  I'm doubly vaxxed, but that's only deemed 95% protection. I can ease that
5% risk by staying home as much as possible.

Same in my house, but never hgad special time interrupted. . .ours is a
chihuahua so even more of a weinie/widget. . . hey, Widget's a good name for a
small dog!

Ours is named Goijira (original Japanese name of Godzilla); a Japanese lady
while walking asked my wife the name & cracked right up on being told!

So you're 61 or 81?

7 years up on my actual or subjective age?

They say the same about us, but we DO know, that's why we hide out in this old
technology-based forum & reminisce about when we were that young, but we
nderstood adults, esp'ly seniors, knew good stuff & had experience/wisdom for
those wise enjmough to sit respectfully & listen.

All my life, until recently, all my closest friends were 15-30 years older than
me.  Now expiration dates are doing a number on that stat. . . :'( 

I'm going to a graveside memorial for a good friend this Sunday.

Your friend,
