  3. Quite the list.

    I've swam, (swum?), with wild dolphins, just by being in the right place at the right time. An incredible experience.

  7. EDUCATEDUNDEREMPLOYED: It’s been nice to pack some adventures into my 60 years. Of course, I look forward to more adventures before my end.


    MERLE: Life’s been good to me—even when I grumble about it!


    LIMPY: I covet your swimming with dolphins. It must have been great.

    I suppose that’s what life is all about: being in the right—or wrong—place at the right—or wrong—time. Of course, it is how we interpret where we are at any given moment that is what is most important!


    ABBY: Yes, I dyed my beard when I dyed my hair. That was an experience I shall never repeat!


    SONG: Fired green tomatoes tasted kinda like, uh, fried green peppers!

    When—not if, but when—you visit me we’ll do a whole like more, like betting on that winning horse that you’ve yet bet on. Maybe we’ll even take a two-day drive to Austin! And beyond! I love road trips and would truly enjoy sharing North American geography with you.


    LITTLE SISTER: I hope I’ve done something in 60 years! And remember, those are only the things listed on that list!
