: : : For my part, an old bluegrass tune by the name of "Old & In the Way," by band of same name (Vassar Clemments, David Grisman, Jerry Garcia, Peter Rowan, & John Kahn) sums it up for me. The chorus, and I paraphrase, as this is from memory (what's left of):

: : : "Old & in the way,
: : : That's what I heard them say.
: : : They used to heed the words he said,
: : : But that was yesterday.

: : : Gold will turn to gray,
: : : And youth will fade away.
: : : They'll never care about you,
: : : When you're old & in the way!"

: : : Yep! That's it!

: : Geez, Rich!  What side of the bed did you get up on?  The best is yet to come.  Your kids take off on their own, and you get to watch and enjoy the fruits of your efforts through their growing years blossom into maturity.  Then comes the second honeymoon.  Empty nest syndrome??  I think NOT!  Do I feel old and in the way?  Hell no!  And I've got a bunch of years on you, kiddo!
: : :o)
: : C.

: Yeah, yeah, yeah ... you had to be there, Chris! There WAS a smile on me face as I was typing that ... it's all the Doc's fault, anyway. She sent me an E-mail and called me "an Offical Old Fart." Can you believe it? Put me in a VERY sour mood!
