family an hour away. My daughter has lived in Africa for about 15 years (Mozambique for the last ten) with two more grandkids. The experience has clarified the meaning of the term, far and wide, and added a few stamps to our passports. I try to run fairly regularly though each decade has been associated with an ego adjustment as more and more young punks (encompassing an ever-widening age range) pass me as if I were standing still. But, as someone said of Elizabeth Warren (with gender change), “he persists.” Indoor time involves a good deal of reading and even a bit of study.

There’s a lot to learn out there, and I now have plenty of time to pursue whatever subject I choose. There are also many great works of fiction that I missed the first time around or can now revisit, perhaps with a more seasoned perspective. We have a wonderful group of friends and spend a good deal of time enjoying their company and taking advantage of the many day trips and events that New England offers. Of late, the group’s demography has begun taking its toll with respect to health and mortality. But, looking back and looking forward, my attitude is mainly one of gratitude.
