Today is "Tuesdays with Phil" day . . .

How this vital 87 year old 'he man' ever found himself sharing dinners on Tuesdays is probably more amazing to him than to us . . . Phil Remington, a fabricator for Dan Gurney (former race car driver) and the brains behind the Cobra race car, joins us each Tuesday (or Weds) for dinner and an occasionally challenging conversation. His latest project as the head of Dan's team is building parts for the "Raven" which has a 4 foot wing span and is used by the armed forces for unmanned surveillance missions.



While Duncan and I recap our most recent ailments, as well as those of our friends; Phil takes home knives to sharpen and brass on the handles to polish. Never one to sit around, Phil grows beautiful flowers and vegetables in his garden then shares them with us each week.



If something seems wrong with this picture - you're right! Phil IS twenty years older and a whole lot healthier and active than most folks our age!!

He sounds like an inspiring man. I hope I can still be purposeful and active when I am older.
