    I have been wondering what I will do when they cut out my disability. Towards that end I have been trying to get as fit as I can as I will either have to work or become a pirate. I’m 62 and haven’t worked in 2 decades and have absolutely no references for anything other than housekeeping for 2 friends in town, hope that gets me in the door somewhere.
