And I think some of the guys in the audience were actually there in 1848! OK, maybe they weren't that old, but I think what I got from that was a a sense that it was OK to get old. Hey, it beats the alternative. And that getting old didn't mean the end of fun or love or adventure.<br /><br />BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699981774111452762.post-58498914918890334752011-09-06T07:49:58.751-07:002011-09-06T07:49:58.751-07:00Great hearing you stick to your guns.

I know people who are well into their eighties and even nineties who have sharp minds and tons of energy. My own mother is a perfect example. I can only hope that I inherited that trait. Good luck with your novel!Patricia Gligor's Writers Forumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801554698484928100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699981774111452762.post-28536684391625365722011-09-05T19:32:54.278-07:002011-09-05T19:32:54.278-07:00That's great to hear, Kat!
