At 75: A view from the rear- view mirror

Today is my 75th birthday

In my twenties, I spent time like I was on a shopping spry, using days as if there was an endless supply. It was the time when I could leave the faucet running, beyond what I needed, with no thought of a future comeuppance.

Whatever happened in my earlier years, I felt that I could repair what may have gone awry. There was always more time. Always tomorrow.
