I didn’t realize that we were in the midst of such hard times until I opened a junk email that said, “Get the funds you need for college” and saw a picture of a ski mask and a short stick to carry in your pocket.

Even if you don’t know me, you can tell from my voice that I’m an old man. I am 72 years old. I’ve never smoked. I never drank. In the winter time I attend exercise class three times a week in Florida and in the summer, when I can get away from my computer, there is more than I can do outside here on the farm. Although I love ice cream and pie, I haven’t had ice cream or a piece of pie or a cookie or a piece of cake or sausage or bacon since I came home from the Public Radio Program Directors’ San Antonio meeting three years ago. They know how to feed down there on the Riverwalk and I gained six pounds in three days. I’m not overweight --- only because of the wake-up call I got at the program director’s convention. But still, when I walk up from the garden with 18 pounds of rhubarb and the scale in my arms I puff and I pant and I have sometimes said to myself, “You’re old. You’re gasping for breath. Someday, without warning, you are likely to drop dead with a heart attack.” But --- I no longer worry, my young friend, because --- last night there was a doctor on the evening news who said that old men do not die without warning. He said that old and young men alike have a blatant warning sign two or three years before having a heart attack, and that the heart is the second organ to go.

Thank you for suporting wry commentary and old fashioned music. Remember that The humble Farmer's old fashioned music program now airs on many cable stations in Maine. Thanks for listening. Your neighbor humble.
