Hey Denver,
Thanks for the links. When I have some time I'll check them out. I think you're absolutely right about how we tend to limit our expectations and reduce our physical AND mental capacities as we get older. Your stories are inspiring. As for me, I own my own business that I started 12 years ago and am completing a PhD that I've been hammering at for several years. I'm near completion. My husband who is 53 will be going to law school fall of 2005. So, I guess you could say we are continually re-tooling and re-inventing ourselves. We raised 5 kids and are just now beginning to actually pursue something other than childrearing, work and school. Our youngest is almost 22 and we are really at the end of that era. So--bicycling is our new passion. Retirement? Not it the picture. I think that in itself continues to keep our dendritic connections popping. Teaching math? Now that is cool. Good for you--lucky students too.
