We KHS65ers are still having birthdays this year, that dratted 65th in most cases....Medicare, maybe retirement, or NOT, gray hair, hips going to pot, and the worst part of it is, as I hear it from all corners, not a one of us has figured out how we got this old! Not long ago we were reminded of Marilyn Monroe's death, at age 36, 50 years ago! Anyone able to envision her at 86? And this month always brings Elvis' death anniversary. No, I can't remember where I was when I heard it, but I understand many do. I DO however remember where I was when I heard Neil Armstrong had safely stepped onto the moon, and today he is gone at age 82. These memories and milestones are mind-blowing aren't they? Good thing we baby-boomers are sure we are invincible and most of us are remaining mentally healthy despite our advancing years!
