your wife is patient. 5pm is freaking LUNCH.

Bingo.

Did the Durango/million Dollar highway thing. Other than that this was kind of new to me and I enjoyed reading it. Thanks for the post. I’m not going real soon bud. It was fun.

We did that. Fun.

I was from New York, but I spent two years going to a small college between Springfield and Peoria. Route 66 ran practically through the middle of town. We used to hitchhike up 66 to Peoria to drink beer at the College Inn near Bradley, which would serve underage kids. I guess I qualified for...

25 years ago, I started taking a statin. Didn’t love it. I went from 10mg daily to 15mg a week, albeit very slowly. We checked the numbers often. They stayed within reasonable bounds. The doc said, “well,I learned something.” Lowest effective dose is what I was after. So far so good. I’m 78...
