Ted - When at your age I would have figured maybe 60, but this year I make 55 and believe I've arrived. BTW, don't you know waist size is inversely proportional to years of tenure as an old fart?

Jack M. - Thanks for pointing out the pointy dogs option for later stage geriatrics. I was afraid my bird hunting life would end when I can no longer stay with my springers. With a pointer maybe it wouldn't have to ... but will probably still feel like it has.
