This growing old is getting tough. Nearing 73 I am taking a couple meds and my back hurts a lot. That is not the hard part. The hard things is watching family and friends age. Some of my friends take as many pills in a day as I do in a month.
Last week I visited my college room mate. He is in end stage Lewy Body Dementia. Of our little group of buddies, he and I are the last.
When I started my beekeeping I was the youngest person in the club. Now I am the second oldest in the club.

It's worse still when you have more dead friends and relatives than living ones.

I received a call this morning that the friend I visited last week had passed away.
