If you need some companionship, how about a small rescue dog? Plenty of exercise walking it, and plenty of companionship. My avatar Tewlee died 3/19, and since I'm almost 73, I wasn't sure if I wanted a little one keep me company. I lasted exactly one week. Drove to a shelter 60 miles away, but the little guy I was interested in had been taken. Then I saw this scared shaking little girl who looked a lot like the boy I lost in a big concrete cage. Picked her up and that was it. She's still a puppy, only 2 and very active. She keeps me young. :-) She's staring at me from the top of the couch and wants to play. :-) Dogs (or cats - I had 2 for 20 years) keep you young.
Greta work, Jack!!

You always nail it when creating these delightfully spot-on piles. Thanks - love your working side notes, too.
