"All the world's a stage....(As You Like It..WS)

.....Not after retiring in 1982 I bought a condo in Florida. I bought it because it was the only clubhouse that, not only had a weight room, but also a 640 seat thetre with state of the art equipment for performances. It also had an indoor swimming pool in which I swam 80 laps every day; it was a mile--I measured it.  I lifted weights in the weight room. I was the only one there since it was a new community of yet to be built condos. I could not do my five mile a day runs nor enter an;y 10 Ks because it was to howt. Yet it was the perfect place for me. 

.....All these events may not be in size places, but they were all part of my life which I have said no one else has experienced. So take it easy on me.  Soon after I came back from my areound-the-world trip I came home and went back to work. It was great to get home, and after a year's junket I realized that America was the place to be, and I was very lucky to have been born there.  The car I bought (with the help of my son, JR) was a nefty Ford Muxtank in which I gave the divorcees I dated, a great time!

(Take my word for it).  Most of these women were starving for a hug, a kiss, and other love devices which I made up as we went along back to their house.  But needing time to write my PhD thesis, I took another year's sabbatical. I was the only one to take iven one sabbatical, let alone two. And no one ever will because the Board dropped it.

 

.....It was New Year's Eve, 1938, when I went to a B'Nai Brith (?)party at a member's home. There I met a young lady (39!) who was wearing a brown corduroy suit and a smile that lit up the room. Should the lights happen to go out because of a storm, the smile could be switched on. I believe it was 500 watts.  At any rate we just happened to spend the evening together with drinks in our hands and our heads.  We ought to not have done it, but we went back to my apartment.  We lived in the same development.  The idea was to watch the baal go down on the TV--which we did, and which afterwards, since there appeared nothing to do, we did stuff as we went along.  Well, try to remember that it was New Year's Eve, and we tried very hard to stick to our mores.  It was such a nice evening, night, and morning that we were married in 1983 and we have had many more of nice evenings--31 to be eggsact.

.....I will continue these thrillint events shortly.  Try to stay awake.
