David’s Aunt Suzie is 90 years old. She recently (just two weeks ago) had a heart attack and now sports a pace maker. One of the reasons we’re hanging out here in the Bay area is to be near Aunt Suzie. We never really had the chance to get to know her before. We’re amazed by her resilience time and again. After her heart attack, her social worker said that what has happened would have taken out a lesser woman–but not Aunt Suzie. With her positive attitude and outlook on life, we think she’ll be around a long, long time.

That reminds us of the quote that we put on the back of our boat cards. If you have one, turn it over and read:

“One can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one
is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested
in big things, and happy in small ways.” –Edith Wharton
