Hi Archie, The essence of life is to experience deeply, to love and to be loved (yes, loving yourself counts too), to create meaning and to grow through both joy and suffering. Being happy 70% of the time is an achievement not to be discredited because of the missing 30%. Unless you're willing to compromise what you already have. Happy Jubilee year.

Here is a baby boomer vigorously calling the waiter, to deliver more beers, honestly I’m done and all I want is to lie on my orthopedic mattresss in my dreams but no sooner was I headed to the exit before the beauty said, sir, please go back to the chambers one more for you, and the grilled meat was served already. Little before I knew it , it was 4am I was chasing the exit when the old man said this one is for you. The last thing I heard was Son, run away but make sure you get the right one lest you join my club!
