  My father passed away at 92 and he told me " if there's something you want to do , do it while you can because the day will come when you can't " At 78 I may have waited too long for many things.

  We always treat every Camino and for that matter everything we do as if it it could be our last. We need to do what we can do, while we can still do it! I've watched my parents physically decline rapidly in recent years and it has spurred me to...
