Hi, Anthony and All! I’ll be 74 on the 21st of this month and I absolutely still love learning new things. When I graduated college, my Dad said to me: “Never stop learning!” I think he’d be pleased to see what I’m doing with technology if he were still alive. My Mom was the same way as well. She learned how to use the computer when she was about 67 or so and she loved it.
Anyway, that’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it! Haha!
