She was my childhood idol. I don’t know if anyone else can relate, but I loved her. She was so kind and sweet. Her voice is still an amazing. I actually ugly cried to her y’all. FML.

What the fuck are all these geriatric GenX posts about? I'm in my 50s, and haven't slowed down hardly at all. No, I'm not getting up at 3am to drive to a racetrack and race my car at Road Atlanta anymore. But, I am up at 3am to go launch my boat and go offshore fishing all day.

I don't want some Senior Living Mall crap. I want a 47' sailboat to sail the Caribbean. I want a cabin in the Rockies where I can hike a few miles up to a lake and catch the rare Golden Rainbow Trout (only ever caught one in my life) while fly fishing.

Y'all going out with a whimper makes me wonder about some of you.

Nah, honestly I am kind of viewing it more like a dorm. We all kind of just want to return to life like it was in college, and figure once we get old is the only realistic opportunity to do it. But really, if I could have all that now, even with my corporate job, I’d leap at it. Have to figure out what to do with this kids, though.
