Visiting with old friends. My Actifit Report Card: April 16 2026
Now that isn't me visiting with old friends. That happened earlier in the day.
How did I stay active today? Start with walking the dog of course same as every day. Then some time on the computer getting articles written and programming done.
Well, there is still a lot of work yet to be done but little by little I'm getting closer to where I want to be.
In the late morning I went for a drive to visit with a bunch of old friends. People I have known for over 40 years. It was weird getting together. Life has taken us down very different paths. Some of them are having difficult times. All of us are getting older and our health certainly isn't what it used to be. We also live far apart so getting together meant driving an hour for me and an even longer bus trip for some of them.
Still, it was great to catch up. See what the others were doing even if it wasn't awesome.
After that I had to come home and drive my son to where his car was serviced so he could pick it up and drive it home.
Unfortunately the mechanic wasn't in the shop when we got there and we had to wait. It was really really crowded in the shop. Stuff was strewn everywhere. I hope the mechanic had a system because I would have a tough time finding anything in the chaos.
But some people have their own way of doing things and who am I to judge them for that?
Anyways I got to spend a bit of time with my son which was nice talking about nothing in particular. He is just doing his course and telling me about what he has been studying. I think he is getting excited about finishing his final year and his license test to become an electrician.
Hard to believe I'm nearing retirement. Hard to believe my old friends are nearing their 60th birthday complete with old person diseases like arthritis, diabetes and the like. Hard to believe that my son is a capable adult who will very soon be a qualified trade professional.
Guess that's why I keep on walking and keep on going to the gym. I want to see what happens in the next chapter of my life so I can make more memories to share with friends and family. Whatever that might be :)
