a pet 

A Good Thing – 

A dog can catch the food before it hits the floor. A cat can catch a rat. A pet cannot replace the child. Not even two of them. I now see older people taking care of their kid’s dog. What happened to grandchildren? Only the pets are multiplying. Math is hard.

a change to modern society 

A Married Age – 

A marriage is for kids. Too many are putting off marriage for the wrong reasons and end up having few if any children. Let them come. It is job one. The most important thing we do. Grandchildren are precious. Your college degree, not so much. 22

a retirement 

A Work In Progress – 

A slow reduction in activity. Started morning bike ride at 71 and still doing it at 83. Time with grandchildren. Potted plants. Rocking chair. Neighborhood watch.
