My Pappy's over the hill

Yep, my Pappy is indeed over the hill. And figuratively speaking, I have just begun my ascent. It's a strange time, you don't know what to say, don't know how to deal with it.

What do you do after years (in my dads case, 40 years) of doing something, when you stop. You may still want to do it. You may still be capable of doing it. But the law requires you to stop.

We'll all be thrown off the ground into space at ripping speeds if the earth stopped rotating because "its been a few billion years now since I've been doing it and it's really not good for the hips, all that revolving".

I don't know what I'd do. Maybe I'd shimmy.
