I have nothing against geriatrics.  I intend to be one someday (with the 
teenagers it seems sooner rather than later).

I just remember several attempts to get you to build a distribution for us and 
you always seem to use age|experience|wisdom to dodge the bullet.  I thought I 
would just make sure that fire can still keep your toes warm.  (Though with 
temps hitting 40 that doesn't sound like it is a problem.)
