schestowitz> I have had the empty feeling that stems from both of us having busy lives and little time for personal and close communication like we started 20 years ago. Oct 23 20:23
schestowitzYes, I agree. I often look back at all that, remembering you and I communicated routinely in that age which predates all the "social control media" stuff/fluff. Sometimes I even look back at some old email -- remember my archive goes about 20 years back. Next to me I have a photo you sent me for my birthday and there's another downstairs where we work out now that a virus makes the gym too risky. Every week we hear some song that you once upon a Oct 23 20:23
schestowitztime sent me and is still in my playlist, which doesn't grow as fast as it used to.Oct 23 20:23
schestowitzSo although we're far apart, we're still connected in everyday life. It's just not immediately obvious.Oct 23 20:23
schestowitzSometimes I wonder if you will travel to the UK, but then I realise it's very unlikely as such flights are long. I try to limit my air travel and I oppose the level of surveillance in American airport, so it's not likely I will travel there in the next 5 years.Oct 23 20:23
schestowitzI've not been in touch with my second cousins in FL for a number of years. They're all adults now, so I doubt there's much to connect us professionally (only Rachelle works in a discipline similar to mine).Oct 23 20:23
schestowitz> But life goes on and I am still a big fan of yours. I hope all is well and that your circle of fans, friends and clients has grown exponentially in the UK  and around the world. Oct 23 20:23
schestowitzI'm actually a bit of an introvert. It's not new. I was the same when we met and I choose a very narrow circle of trusted people; some of them more trusted than my own parents.Oct 23 20:23
schestowitz> My 3 children have have all done well and I am very proud of them. They have strengths of character stemming from what they learned from us and on their own. All 3 have experienced jumping over the high hurdles and difficulties we all encounter in our lives and have to deal with, but they have gone to the front of the pack to win the  in their own  race to success and if money counts as success they all have become financially well off and Oct 23 20:23
schestowitzindependent.Oct 23 20:23
schestowitzI like how you separate financial success from real success because many people cannot tell the difference. Media eggs them on to think in those terms. I myself am hardly interested in money (not beyond what cover the basics and some security for difficult times). We already have a national health system here, so medical bills cannot sink a household.Oct 23 20:23
schestowitz> For me, it is truly a blessing to be able to keep busy…not a minute of boredom, and it so good that my brain and memory are functioning surprisingly well. In 18 days I will celebrate my 93rd birthday so I can safely say that I I have climbed to the top of the mountain of longevity; looking  back over the long years I have no idea to what age level I can compare and I don’t try. I just know that I am one lucky son-of-a-bitch. Oct 23 20:23
schestowitzI recently thought about your birthday (about a week ago). I didn't know the exact day, but it's around the time Techrights has a birthday. It turns 15 shortly.Oct 23 20:23
schestowitz> Hope you too have a long and happy life with your good wife along side you in  good health doing what you love and a big bank account as a measuring cup of your success. Who could ask for more than that?Oct 23 20:23
schestowitzWell, the bank account bit leads me to saying: at what expense do people grow their bank account? To a lot of people, this is a lifelong trade-off, in essence giving away their best years (say, 22-68) to help some other person or corporation become more powerful. My sister left her job and moved to Oregon this year. I don't think she plans to go back to work. But being the age that she is, what has she accomplished really? About 20 years working for Oct 23 20:23
schestowitza large American company and still not true happiness.Oct 23 20:23
schestowitzAs for me and Rianne, we do our own thing, mostly our Web sites. There's very little we need to worry about except the health of our pet fish. She is vegetarian, I'm still "getting there", and we're generally happy more than 95% of the time. It's not a guaranteed recipe for a long life, but literature says that can help.Oct 23 20:23
schestowitz93 is way above the life expectancy and having one's spouse reaching the same age is rare (not sure what that's like statistically in the US as a whole... I bet less than 5% likelihood).Oct 23 20:23
schestowitzI want to get back to corresponding with you at least once a week to touch base and sort of debate these topics. I actually miss that. Oct 23 20:23
schestowitzCordially,Oct 23 20:23
