Well gentlemen (and Grace)...

Not only am I 'old', I am now "US Government CERTIFIED" old

Got my first Social Security check (actually direct deposit) today.

Thats the "bad" news...the good news is that a good portion of it will be disposable income for me so...let the upgrading begin

Well, there IS the "War Department's" 'honey dew list', so that cuts into the gaming time

I'll still work some, but it will be IF and WHEN I want to

Hmmmmm....decisions decisions....

New X2, or get the 9950 and DFi 790 MB first ? Then there is TrackIR for my flight simming, and a new KB/Mouse combo would be nice, maybe a nice 22-24" LCD for my secondary monitor? Dang, Audigy2 is getting a bit long in the tooth too...

You don't get old when you're a man, you mature. Not every man will get richer or more powerful in his lifetime, but every man's life gets better. That's the beauty of being a man.

It's like saving the best for last when eating a meal.

Take care of yourself and you could be like that 101 year old english dude who still runs marathons and works his job at a local garage.
