Well, a very nice explanation. Much more than expected. But good to read.

I’m still a spring chicken at 67 years old. I was not so successful financially, so I continue to work. But at least the work is interesting — writing research and journal stories in high tech.

My wife (62) is crazy over pickleball. And she goes every weekday (though she’s now going stir crazy that they shut down the courts for the Chinese virus).

I enjoy outside exercise, mowing lawn, trimming the bushes.

Last weekend we put up a couple of fence posts for our 6 foot picket fence around the property. It was a pleasure - work up a little sweat, we had fun together mixing the concrete in a large aluminum cooking bowl and pouring around the post.

Eating is a big deal for me and my wife is skillful in the kitchen.

My wife is from Japan so I often join her watching the Japanese dramas at night-time. The NHK channel is excellent. Very few ads. Surprising how with good dramas you don’t really need to understand Japanese, though sometimes they have English subtitles.

I do enjoy audiobooks, especially the American history type as in Bill O’Reilly’s “Killing” series.

Daughter and baby child are in California. Hope to see them this summer perhaps.

Thanks for your reply.

“Eating is a big deal for me and my wife is skillful in the kitchen.”

My wife is a superb cook. One son was a chef for decades.

All of our family are great in the kitchen.

One son, the former chef and I are excellent outside grillers. Our grandson is good in the kitchen and a good griller.
