Why I Watch Established TV Series The Bowman Family I know that Gilligan never got off that darn island and I can live with that, but the growing number of television series that pop up, gain your viewing trust, and then disappear into the night has become an epidemic! Gilligan's Island I see promos for new series, they sound really cool but before I can check into them a notice is out the Network has pulled the series! Its a business decision, I get that. HOWEVER, there is a difference in a pilot, add a few episodes of a new series to see if it sticks with audience compared to three seasons of a show. I have invested time.

Empowering the silent sufferers has turned around nasty behavior that was kept in the dark for too long...so, please do not take what I am going to say like I do not support it...I have lived it.

I stop…I drop Age isn’t a number… It’s a force, driving me to deteriorate daily, mentally and physically…. It is however, a privilege. How will I choose to live my twilight years?  Can I overcome the temptation to slow it down? To embrace the rocking chair mentality….to pronounce myself too old for such…. Never. Even as I write this I am in pain. I cannot give up pushing myself to hike trails, go on adventures, and mild as they may be to some, I am doing it how I want to. I am and have never been a thrill seeker. My mountain hike is about the journey, the freedom from concrete, and the view. Roan Highlands, The Balds 2017 Yosemite Obstacles: I injured my hip 4 years ago trying to show off to my twin boys on a bicycle ride… Flashforward, two years ago, I decide to see what damage I did and fix the thing. An MRI revealed arthritis, no fixing. My pain now comes from a re-injury to the area. Instead of allowing the slower
