Kansas City on Wednesday and visited a Marine Corps buddy I've known and kept in touch with for 49 years. He was in KC for some automotive technical training that he just does for fun. He was a radar technician in the Marines and got a degree in mechanical engineering after he got out. He worked at John Deere up in the Waterloo, IA area for most of his life. He was the senior engineer at one of their engine plants. He's an exceptionally smart guy. Kind of OCD. Apparently, a little like many of us here. That's one of the things that make him so interesting though. He turns 70 in a couple of months and was diagnosed with Parkinson's about 10 years ago. I can see it is gradually taking a toll on him. On Thursday, I drove over to Centralia, MO and visited my brother for a few days. He had a quintuple bypass surgery a couple of years ago and in the last few months had his carotid arteries roto-rootered out. He seems to be in good health now, but I figure we need to spend all the time we can now that our kids are long gone and we have more time. He's my only younger brother. He's retired from teaching vo-tech school. No sense putting off sitting on the porch and listening to the birds sing. You never know what cards life will deal you. As you get older, the cards sometimes ain't so pretty.
