Glad to meet you.  I expect I have you beat in years though. I am 80, 
long since retired from a lifetime of chasing electrons for a living, 
usually as the CE at a tv station for the last 40 years. A "geek" before 
the word was invented, I quite school and went to fixing tv's for a 
living after the 8th grade in '49.  Passed the 1st phone in '62 and the 
C.E.T. in '72 without cracking a book.  I don't recommend getting old, 
the overall experience is not what I would call the golden years.  So 
avoid it if you can. ;-)

But now I have time to do all those things that usually keep me out of 
the bars. But I still need the giddyup I used to have if I am ever to 
finish my bucket list.  You don't ever do that last item though, because 
if you do, you are out of a good reason to stick around. ;-)
