You mean if I had to do it over again?
Just coz a woman is beautiful on the outside she may not have a personality to match.
Hence on 2nd marriage.

Should have bought a house in Vancouver like my mother suggested. First wifey got the first house in Vancouver. I should have gone for the 2nd house later.

Golf more.

Should have got a 911 instead of a Mustang2 Ghia 1979 bought brand new. The salesman said( coz I was with my first wife did we have a Japanese house boy!) Refer to point 1 about the first wife.

Should have travelled to Spain to visit my mother when she had a house in Malaga Spain even though we had a new baby.

Should coulda didn't.....

My gp doc said his choice was to be either a doctor or a fighter pilot. I said he made the right choice. Being a fighter pilot you are a chick magnet, make a lot of noise in the sky and being a doc for me has kept me above ground.

Happy birthday from another old guy. I made it to past 71 and back during Vietnam I never thought I would get this far, mainly from a bar girl and a butterfly knife! Remember that when you get to 70 1/2 retirement accounts have something call a required minimum disbursement and several months I had one which came as huge surprise. Seems I worked for a company that put 3% of my pay each pay day into a retirement account and I was not even aware of it!!!! BIG surprise last April.

Anyways I hope you get along great with your doc and the health insurance is covered okay. I never thought about that but now I sure do!
