Living life to its fullest – without do-overs
My column that appeared in this space a couple of weeks was, at least in my opinion, kind of deep. In it, I talked about being in or close to the golden years – the late fall or early winter of life as I called it – and how quickly time passes. 02/18/2022 12:00 AM
