Went out last night with Seth for his 21st. birthday. Drinking and partying ensued, although no one got out of hand. That's my baby, my last cub, now for better or worse, "grown up".

Squinney, the younger cubs and myself were all together for this occasion and Christmas day and I can't shake the feeling that this will be the last time that happens.

Moving forward towards the grave. It's inevitable.

On a more chipper front, we decided that after I've been harvested for organs and used as a cadaver and someone claims me (I didn't realize your remains still had to be claimed after all that) we're going to cremate me as cheaply as possible and divide my ashes into small vials and sell Steve Quinney souvenirs and make one last profit on me. Believe it or not, people are already asking how to reserve one. Laughing

Empty nest syndrome?

Blah!!! - You are now just entering your "third act" - now ready to really know what you want to do with all your wisdom, experience, money, focus and freedom of time.

Go for it.

@blueveinedthrobber,
It's my experience (and yesterday was my 73rd b'day) that finally having an empty nest is one of the most liberating experiences possible. I no longer have to be concerned about any one else's college tuition or clothing allowance and am no longer subject to the whims and demands of other people. Ah, freedom!

I get junk mail all the time, asking if these people can cremate me. I don't mind getting cremated, but they could stop reminding me until I begin to get ready to go.

@blueveinedthrobber,
Yes, but ... "the last time"?

I didn't mean it as someone was going to die... I just have a feeling some of us will have moved on, probably geographically, by then.

@blueveinedthrobber,
Well that's a relief, Bear! Very Happy

OK, fair enough.
That possibility would make me feel sad, too.
