  Well, in 20 years I'll either be gone or sitting in a chair drooling on
myself with no idea what's going on.  :)

  That is one devaluation I'm all for.  :)

  Been that way most of my life.
  All too often I'll be talking about something and think it was only a
short time ago and be reminded it was several years ago.

> Now I expect to work until minimum age 80

   I would have continued working, maybe, had I not been considered a work
horse who was on call 24/7 and to drop everything and hurry off somewhere at
the last minute.  And considered full time with no life other than work.
   If I had been left alone to work one or two days a week only, I may have
stayed on the job. 

> Nice guy - whatever happened to her? Wasn't a longer term sync?

  She was hot for me but not I for her.  She wanted more than just a
friendship.
  She was a widow and had several children, from about 12-25.  I think she
had like five of them.  Seems a new one to me popped up every now and then.
  My mother and I convinced her to continue her education and she
eventually became a practical nurse and life was better for her.
  In 1987 she was having financial problems and needed a car but couldn't
afford one.  I gave her the car my mother left me but within a just a few
months her next to youngest, who had just gotten his license, totaled it.
  He died in a motorcycle accident at around 20.
  She died a couple of years later after a short illness.
   
> From the Queen, or whomever is on the throne at the time

  The way the old girl is going, she may still be there then. :)
  I really like the Queen and greatly admire her.
  I am an Anglophile.  But it saddens me the way England is going now...
  I just hope she outlives Charles...
