Over 60, Is It True That I'm No Longer Young?
Lather was 61, April Fools Day. After the warmest March on record with temperatures broken daily for over a week in the upper 70's and 80's, due to an abnormal jet stream. The highest March reading of 87 degrees was recorded which previously had not been attained until late April. This week is spring break and Holy Week so I have been catching up on yard work from the November snow storm and due to the early warm weather cutting the grass today, when late April is usually the first cut. Also back on February 15th the Eaton County Road Commission cut down the around 100 year old ash tree that was by our driveway because it was a victim of the ash borers. It is so different backing out of the driveway without having the tree blocking your view and to look across the street unimpeded. The tree lived so much longer than I will and now is fire wood for Basil and a man on Delta River Drive who came by, cut up and hauled away the rest. I ended my para-pro job at H B Woods for Scott March 6th as he got a Dewitt employee to take over but it was good for me as one week I lost my voice and wouldn't have been able to teach anyway. Is it true that I"m no longer young or is it all just a state of mind still without determined borders? Like Lather I should be told I"m not old and Fools who admit to it are better off than the plain old foolish. MSU ended up in a 3 way tie and then won the Big 10 tournament and then made it to the sweet sixteen but lost to Louisville. But Draymond did take the career rebound lead in his last game.
