dont internalize it, all of us have fears that we project outwards. Do you look back and feel that you have lived a valuable life?

Leaving my job in June to be a bum, you called?
Looks like Idyllwild/Yo Valley/Tuolumne/High Sierra starting in May. Have a few trips planned already in between weddings etc, but mostly will be trying to meet people and enjoy summer on a rope (though the boulder pad will be used plenty). Going to be bringing along some resumes to drop off on the East Side, but always feel like San Diego is 'home' so can't imagine I won't drift back at some point.
So... what's the job situation like out in Bishop?

This should stall the old people thread. Good job Jim.

Jim's just stirring the pot. I can assure you, alive and very well. He knows his time, although finite, is still so many adventures away.

That's what I hate about being reincarnated - it just makes you get sick and tired of being here again all that sooner.

I can't believe you got the 'c' word past the ST naughty word filter. Well done.

There is always jizz.....most of us have sex, survival of the species (not neccessarily a good thing) is dependent on it. Why, then, are we so prudish about a universal, fun activity that is condoned by right wing religious groups.....you know, marriage is just between a man and a woman.

One of the things we old geezers know from long experience is that that most of the young people mouthing off about old farts won't be climbing at all when they get older. So yeah, a knowing chuckle is all they're getting from me.

I wouldn't take personal offense, Mr Donini...some threads here are intended to chafe and provoke.
Living a rich and full-flavored life, youth can but admire ...or envy you. Many of the threads people write to agitate and annoy are conceived in envy...

You guys have done it all and still pulling down. I've just gotten started.
But for as long as I last I'll give it a run. To learn, to explore, to do, to be and love the planet and those on it .... a large task but one I am pursuing with all I can muster. Cheers from lynnie
