As hard as it is to get these 55 year old bare feet started again when they stop, I make a point to offer and usually get as much out of it as they do, even if I may muff a shot now and again due to being low tech and sans reading glasses. You can make a day sometimes by just saying hey.<br />Scott Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843667427185715771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-54862413715510551912019-10-28T06:37:58.884-05:002019-10-28T06:37:58.884-05:00It's been a tough one, that's for sure!
