Bob; I don't know how old you are, but people are never too old to start
something new. I've seen this attitude in men I dated; they are ready to
retire and sit on the sofa until the grim reaper comes for them (why I
no longer date). I'm 52 and feel like my life is just starting a new
chapter. I moved from the city to start homesteading at 40. At 50 I
divorced and started a new life as a single mother running a farm alone.
Every day is an adventure.
