I found a letter today, and it was from me in 2029. It included the photo to the left and some advice.
1. Stay single ... this is just the way you were genetically created. You cannot change who you are, nor can any woman. Accept this and embrace it as truth.
2. Play more golf. It is what you love and soon you will be too old to break 70. Make it happen, no matter what it takes, because this will be one of your greatest memories.
3. Forget about working out. This is how you will look soon regardless of what you do. Also, your vision is getting worse in the 2010's so what's the difference.
4. Invest in gold ... period. It will be the only commodity that increases in value after 2012.
5. Blogging is a complete waste of time, but I will not waste my time telling you that because I just finished blogging about my great 42 birthday two decades ago, which is NOT in April.
6. GET OUT OF MINNESOTA YOU BIG IDIOT !!!!!! Dammit you fool ....
7. Never mind number #1 - the heartache was worth it even though I've been run over more times than a manhole cover. Life is messy, and so are you. Look at my pants, we both know they were on the floor before wearing them.

OH MY GOSH! You are so funny!
Why are you on a "Speedy's old" kick? STOP THAT! You are like a SPRING CHICKEN!
"Takes bow .... then runs out the door"
What? You live in MINNESOTA? Holy cow! I never knew! How have you been hiding this?
Pretty sure Tim Tams are already increasing in value.
Actually I almost always create posts around photos, and I was working on this earlier. Oldness is not on my mind, but (ohhhh who am I kidding)
Yeah, I know! The last few months has been very "reflective" for me I guess. At least I have nice pants ...........
Minnesota yes .... it is either cold enough to KILL you - or hot, sticky, and buzzing with 20 quatrillion mosquitos.
Aren't those your state bird?
You are the ONLY one who thinks you are old. No one else does! Take a poll!
I've heard those 'skeeters can carry off a grown man.
OK .... I will do that. There is a GREAT site that hosts java widgets with polls you can create. I like widgets ;-)
:) You will see. :) I have a feeling this is going to be done "Speedy style." :)
You can avoid mosquitos on the golf course by breating (exhaling) UP into the air while running with a club and headcover waving above your head.
Wow! That must make golfing SUCH a fun activity! :)
But hey, if you love it, it's worth it, right? :)
But of course
HE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Isn't it golfing weather up there yet?
Drowsey and Olga are still teasing me about my so called "white" golf slacks .... that are really light grey
Yeah ... I will be out SOOON.
........... in my white slacks
Oh dear. WHITE SLACKS!
(I'm seeing a disco ball in my mind for some reason now!!!)
Thanks for dropping by tonight, I better get some shut eye.
See you at the polls!! ((wink))
LMAOLOL @ disco balls
ha haaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Night! :) Looking forward to voting! :)
I sure can't sleep now that I have a disco ball in my brain!
Speedcat you frightened me. I was away for two weeks and came back and you have changed....don't worry about the future, the present is all that counts...
Hey dude, pretty difficult to argue with any of that sage advice you have given yourself, especially the golf bit... hey man, you look really hot as an old fucker in those green trousers too, you won't be single for too long with that outfit!
Love the green trousers ha ha!They look like workman's overalls :O)
You are young enough to be my son, I've no doubt - Oh the thought hahaha!
Nice pants, Speedy! :D
I agree that you should golf more because anything that gives you that much joy in your life, then you ought to make it a higher priority. You're worth it, and life is too short not to enjoy it as much as you can.
If it were me, I'd also advise leaving Minnesota and heading south. Of course, I live in Ohio which isn't a whole lot better, so I have no room to talk. I'd head south if I could though.
As for the rest, take life a day at a time and I'm sure things will work out for you.
Hugs to you. :)
LOL...ah I see all the exercise and good eating you PLANNED to do has paid off! LOL
I may take some of your advice to you and apply it to me. I could use a little "don't worry, be happy."
Stop this getting old crap. You're making me cranky. You're young. If you're not, I'm not. BTW - Do you see those pants as "red" or "green"? I'm wondering because if you are seeing them wrong, you might be colored blind... but I don't think that has anything to do with age :)
8. Stock up on pants. The ones available in 2029 are hideous. ;-)
Old schmold (hey, it rhymes even if it's not a word). Life IS messy my friend. That's the good part!
This post make my day, it's so funny!
check out my 4 new photo http://jong.my
Cheers Speedy
too funny.
In the year 2029, if Speedy is still alive,
If Miss Moneypenny can survive.
Everything we think, do and say,
Is in the Obama pill we swallowed today.
Ain't gonna need the gold,
When we are old,
Because Obama will take care of you!
Speedy, you are the sunshine of my blog-life. Awesome post! Oh yeah, and wearing pants from the floor builds character. LOL.
Aw, cute! Hm, he looks like a doctor friend of mine who runs a clinic in 2029. ;)
I wish I could write a letter to myself in 1999, and given myself advice. But I think I wouldn't have listen and have gotten into the same mess that I'm in now. Stupid, ha?
Minnesota? Oh my! My daughter was there over the weekend! Did you see her?
This post is really good, a little pathos and a little humor.
