Subject: Re: How far will it fall?
It's one thing for us middle-aged/old people to stew in our thoughts, but if we’re also going to influence family, especially the younger more impressionable members, I think it's important not to rob them of their natural optimism.

I am by nature an optimist, and I retain my glass-half-full stance on life.

However I see myself as the sort of fellow who is whistling a cheery tune and waving at the neighbours while out front filling sandbags because of the rising waters. No matter what one's age, one can do both : )
