When You Just Ain’t Got it All Together

What a cool dude. He reminds me of the old TV show Gun Smoke. He is very wise. However it would be nice to "get it all together" at least before dying.

and when you don't, it's pretty obvious."

There was one character on Gunsmoke who looked like him, esp. around the mouth.

He does seem that way...the old rancher, out behind the homestead.

It's a shock to realize that I'm nine years older than that "old rancher."

He makes a lot of good points. But then...the snarky NeYawker that I was born being, comes out...it's so easy to be reflective, self-examining, and thoughtful, when you have the time and rustic comforts allowed in such a world.

For most of my adult life, I was DRIVEN. Like a rented mule. No fire-pit for me...rush home, into bed, because the morning clock-in time (split-shifts make for short evenings) was coming up.

I had a choice, of course. I could quit...and go live on the street. Later, quitting would have jeopardized my six-figure wage. When I realized that even seniority wasn't going to protect me from the chaos of a railroad merger...I did quit, and did do some of the leisurely things he recommended. Hiked and motorcycled all across the nation.

But I was already over 50, when I found a way to work those breaks into my routine.

I'm reminded of something my mother used to say, when she was the age I am now. "Youth," she'd deadpan..."is wasted on the young."

How true. Just when I figure out the answers, they change the questions. And unfortunately I never got a Dry Creek spread with a beautiful fire-pit.
