73 and still went to the Jewish community center pool yesterday despite my telling him not to. I am glad they are going to close. It’s bad enough my son’s been working overtime at a grocery store. I had to give up going to the pool last week ( we go to different pools, matter of preference). It’s just getting worse and worse.
