JP and Rick --
All I can say is-- "there was a day" and I also recognize, when it's time to turn the ship over to the young guns. I will tell you a quick story -- a number of months ago, on a Saturday night, Frank Kleines and I were at a local pub downing a few beers. It was nine o'clock and when I looked up three "younger" guys walked in, sat down and ordered a beer and a shot each-- Their hair was wet, like they just got out of the shower and they were dressed to the nines. I said to Frank -- a few years ago that was us -- now I'm getting ready to go home and go to bed and they are just starting out --
In a few years, I'll be dead and they will be sitting in these same stools getting ready to go home, when three young guys will walk in and order beers and a shot. -- I'm jealous-- My acid reflux just get's in my way--- But I will promise you this-- I will hang "for awhile" with you guys, then I'll go to bed with a big smile. Ah, the cycle of life, I love it.
