Totally OT--but good advice

I apologize for being off-topic, but there is something I have to get off my chest.
Now that I have moved to Colorado in anticipation of getting remarried, I am unpacking the things my late wife and I had in the old house.
There are delicate wine glasses that have never tasted wine, and fine china that has never tasted food. They were all being saved for "later."
Today is "later," folks! Live your life NOW! As the old saying goes:
"Enjoy yourself! It's later than you think!"

That is indeed very good advice. Advice that should be heeded by everyone here, regardless of their situation, or their perception of their situation. It is similar to thoughts that I had in 2005 as I lay in a hospital bed recovering from quintuple by-pass surgery. Coin collectors often tend to be conservative people who invest and save, thinking more of the future than the present, and are, for the most part, not impulsive beings that live only for the present. But let just one major life catastrophe occur, and one's outlook can change rather quickly. Go ahead and live life for the moment. Go crazy every once in a while. Eat dessert first. Use those dishes and wine glasses, rather than save them for a special occasion.
Come to think of it, I think I am going to break out that bottle of 25 year old scotch that I have been saving.

I have thumbs up from wife, kids, boss, team associates, hopefully
clients but decision been made.
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Many of my friends have gone, well before their time and missed
out on the dreams they had.
I wish you all the best in life and enjoy Colorado, but you should
have moved to Idaho.

Best of luck with your new beginning. Be careful. It might make you feel young again.
If there's one thing I know it's that the point of life is to have fun and try to leave the world a little better place.
There's never anytime like the present to start. Mebbe, it's like the ancient Chinese proverb; The best time to plant a tree is yesterday.
Good luck.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!
You are just the sort that finds a natural home here. Intelligent, well-spoken, and educated as you are you shall swiftly find yourself adapted to the life you always knew you (and each of us) could and should have.
Unlike a glass 'designed' to contain wine but that never actually did, you ( I believe) will find that that which you were designed for, but perhaps in some particulars never achieved or became, may now become actuated.

You have a great deal to contribute Capt'n. I've seen it in your posts. Continue so in your new chosen locale and you shall not find an unappreciative audience.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!
And, big congratulations!
