“ENY- You should have been in BH if you think it was uncomfortable in Williamsburg for Black people.”
I was joking, but yeah, I’m sure you guys had a lot of difficulties to deal with being an interracial couple, especially in those days. When I was growing up in the 1970s and 1980s Williamsburg was mainly Hispanic and Hadisic folks and ethnic white folks who couldn’t afford to move to Long Island. The place was also a dump, one of the few places in Brooklyn I could say looked worse than the worst parts of Brownsville and ENY. I seldom went there. Still don’t, although it has clearly become a hot spot.
“You have planned well in life and now is when those plans will save you from undue anxiety.”
I thought I had planned well, too. Not well enough, it appears. Once I start working again, I’ll be in a “reconstruction plan” for a couple years, too. Retirement is just a pipe dream somewhere in a land far far away.
I’d have a difficult time not living in NewYork after retirement (3 months and counting). Nice to go up to country but don’t think 7 days a week up there would work for me.
If “the good times are killing you,” sure. But it doesn’t sound like that completely yet. you’re at a different life stage than I am but for myself, when people ask me if I’ll ever move out of New York, there could be reasons but none of them exist realistically now.
Perhaps it’s a blessing your job loses your interest and you transition to retirement, which in truth for someone like yourself will not be sitting around. Why worry unless you’re hemorraging money or your soul? You have planned well in life and now is when those plans will save you from undue anxiety.
– ride a racing bike
– go fast
– sit up on the bikes
– have the coordination to look around and see what is happening without falling off the bike.
– signal
– wear a helmet
And don’t be a spaced out, spastic drooler who breaks the laws.

“Jester – do you write for a fortune cookie company?”
If so, he must have to use a very small font.
Or a giant cookie.

“1970s picture, you were very cute. Nice red hair. “— I think you are confusing DIBS with Bozo, Donatella. As Cgar said, lay off the booze.

“Any advice on game-plays?”

“Is it possible to “age out” of silverdaddies?”
Yes, then you move on to silvergramps.
