2007 emails

My doctor last month told me I had better do any travelling I want to do in
the next 8 years.

HP:
That's a pretty good window of opportunity, though of course we'd all like
more.
   Was your doc more specific than that, or did he mean just that at 80 or
so we generally run out of steam?

NP: Generally begin to fall apart.


HP 23 August 2012. 8 plus 2007 = 2015.

Noel could not meet us when we were in Mississippi in June 2007 and could not meet us when we were in Mississippi in February 2012. What's the lesson? You never know if a chance to see each other is your last chance to see each other.
