Hi Alastair,
I suppose so. Is that like "one foot in the grave?" And yer not sure where 
the hell the other one is? ;-)

However some days no matter the activity, you get down emotionally and 
figure "I wonder how long I'll put up with this being too old to shoot" crap 
from young pups who are in the assigning positions of companies? Then I 
figure screw them I can go shoot wherever I want, went I want. Now that's a 
nice feeling. But quite frankly it's a hell of a lot nicer feeling when you 
know you are shooting for a specific client assignment.

One thing that lifts me out of these down moments are the work outs I do 
with my trainer three mornings a week, certainly as I did this morning. My 
first time of  leg pressing 270 pounds, 2 X 20 reps. :-) The goal is to 
reach 300 by Christmas!:-) Another little thing to lift a near 78 yr. guy 
out of the dumps. ;-)

Anyway I've got an age goal of 96 and still shooting so that keep's one 
active! :-)
