Stay Warm. It's Very Important.

     Ask any geezer: "What's your secret to a long and happy life?" Nine times out of ten, you get the "stay warm" answer. The other ten percent will go on and on about the importance of friends and family and good diet and exercise and so on. Then there will be the one in a hundred that says a shot of rye first thing every morning does the trick.
  So begins Geezer Week. Our  mail bag has been bursting at the seams with questions, comments,  and rants and raves from our oldsters. Here's one right off the top.
    Hey You,
          We heard  all about you from Hurwitz's grandson. Now you gonna pretend you no (his spellin') something about growing old graciously. You are nothing but a blowhard and a phony, so up yours. Whatya think of that smartass?
                                  Respectfully Yours,
                                                        Gene (the machine)  Murray
Dear Mr. Murray
       Thanks for your interest, and I love your nick name. Stay warm.
 Best,
