A Sports Car –
A manual transmission. My wife, daughter, and son could drive it. Not many others. Had to replace it with a SUV when it was too hard to get in and out of it. A good eight years of my retired life was with a sports car. BRZ

A Pope –
A holy man. John Paul the Great. Just seeing him, before I heard or read anything about him, I knew he would make a positive change in my life. We were lucky to have him.

A Heart Valve Problem –
A lot of pressure to fix it. When to say no to healthcare. How old is too old? The cost shutdown the government. Don’t want to be part of that. Why fix it if there is no real pain? Can’t you just fix the pain?
17
A Rampant Corruption –
A falling away. Who or what can you trust? How can you protect yourself or your loved ones? Listen and learn. Watch and see. Pray for guidance. Repent and worship. Go to church. Just show up.
16
A Great City –
A fallen city that can be found no more at all. Constantinople. A name change. Time to pay attention. What is going on? Why the change? It could be important.
15
A Reliable Person –
A careful person who avoided risks to a fault. He remembered others. He wanted to be remembered.
14
A New Start –
A chance to make a first impression. Five times it involved a move. New everything. A good time to bond with the family. Not distracted by old friends or in-laws. It was also a chance to explore different parts of the country. Change is good.

A Big Deal For Me –
A few speeches but needed a lot of preparation. Don’t ever pass up a chance to give a speech but make sure you have something to say and prepare for it. Don’t wing it. Keep it short. Make ’em laugh.

A Bike Ride In The Morning –
A cool quiet time to breath fresh air and flex joints. As you get older walking gets more difficult but not the bike ride, even over 80.
11
A Good Neighborly Deed –
A picking up of a newspaper or moving of their garbage cans. What I see from my patio. Puting their car in the garage and closing the garage door.
