So true, none of us know how long we have left! It's best to enjoy every moment to the fullest!

Thanks. That's exactly right, @riverflows. I find myself in a state of gratitude pretty often at this stage of life. Cheers to Joy Bubbles! : )

It was pretty dreadful pre-Jungle Jack!

I'm hoping to squeeze at least thirty years out of this third act. : )
