Typically me, playing with younger kids keeps me young, I remember. as a youngster, running around saying “LSMFT”. Roosevelt was president and it stood for “Lets Start Mentioning Fifth Term”. I was discing a field (on a tractor) when Roosevelt died. My brother came running accross the field to tell me that the president died.

I remember a lot of things but I also forget a lot of things. I am a healthy 82 years old and I just retired from driving a school bus this past school year. I am bored big time so I probably will start looking for another job in the spring. Maybe I’ll concentrate on dropping about 25 lbs this year.

Incidently, “LSMFT” was a Lucky Strike cigarette add standing for “Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco” As kids we just switched it to mean about Roosevelt. lol Oh yeah, I really look like I’m 62. Honestly.
