I could not agree with your post more. My wife goes to church to interact with her friends as much if not more than for spiritual enlightenment. I enjoy teaching at the apprentice school because 90 minutes before class, i congregate with a coupla’ old timers and we just “shoot the bull” before our classes begin. When school ends for the summer, I miss those guys! I’m also involved with the Local 486 Retired Members Club. We meet once a month to see who’s still living over coffee and buns. Life’s pretty good. I can’t physically do what I used to do, but there’s nothing I can do about that. I can try to stay sharp mentally, and judging by some of the morons I have to teach, I’m doing pretty well!
