Oh, dear. LOL. You're so young--not even middle-aged. 40 was the hard one for me. But George and I are septuagenarians (I think George is--we have a lot of memories in common) and Bob is talking about his gerontologist, though I'm sure he's younger than I. I think George and I and maybe Bud are the oldest on the list. So, Monica, you have a lot of life ahead of you--and may it be enjoyable.!!
