Tonight I met my friend, Tim Coutts, at 240 Union. He’s known Elliot (now almost age 5) since he was born. We’ve known each other perhaps 10 years. We often meet at the bookstore on Sunday mornings at 10:00.

I met him because he is a long-time FoxyProxy customer. He is British – from New Castle – 30 years older than me, an ex-physicist at NREL, and a great inspiration to me.

He is 83 and in great health even after a stroke and being a life-long diabetic. He exercises 4-5 times per week, one of those with a trainer. He’s been doing that for decades. He does Wordle and Sudoko and reads and is active and involved and alert and charming and intelligent.
