I did have a good day, the weather was nice and I went for along walk, about five miles. The Cottonwoods and Aspen were just flaming gold, full on foliage, lots of the grasses and lower shrubs were red and orange, just beautiful. I kind of wish I could have had a piece of cake though, I love cake.

Take it from a 70 year old. You’re going to look back at your 60s as great days of (relative) youth. I bet you’re already thinking, “man, I was a stud back in my 50s!”
