I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

A close friend of mine with an air service background, if you get my drift, was pensioned off by his company at age 64 as he had serious medical problems. His workers thought he wouldn't last a year. 12 years later he is still battling. He did have a charity job but his main raison d'etre is cruising and taking care of his spouse. He has not got long to go and is taking each month one at a time. His target is August.

Others think that drawing their pension fulfills life's dreams.

I am now older than my father and grandfather before me but need another 21 to pass my GGF but only 10 to beat his father. That is my goal
