I have reached the point in life where people I used to party with are getting buried.

Seriously, I am now in my 60s. Several of my high school and college friends have died recently. Bummer.

1. yeah, I went to 30th and 40th

high school reunion. about 5% gone. Add some real life acquaintances from peer group.. sad. But what I miss most are my three 85-90 year old neighbors who passed last decade.

5. Same here.

The last time mr. froggy and I went out on the town - that is, to dance and have a few drinks - we had to hire a sitter for the kids. Now the kids are grandparents.

6. At your advanced age remember to read the Obits......

it is a good day if you don't read your name in them.

8. Yes, that's a bummer.

One of my best friends in h.s. died at the end of our freshman year of college,, several others have passed since then, of course, one is seriously ill with pancreatic cancer. I'm in my late 60s, and will attend funeral of a brother in law (72) tomorrow, husband (68) died last year, but DAD, 98, held on until 1,1/2 years ago!!!

Live goes on, that's what it does: Daughter expecting my 2d grandson in 2 months.
