What I miss is the company of my family. My parents and one sister are gone, my generation is the oldest in the family, one of my kids lives away and the other is a typical very busy teen who doesn't often have time for me. The bride and I hang tough though, cellphones and email connects us with far flung siblings in a way that phones and snail mail can't. In a few short years the focus has shifted from one generation to the next, and old fart or not, we stay vital by staying with the times, accepting new folks into the family and circle of friends.

Peace, Mooh.
