For me it would've been around 1996 (30 years - yikes!).  Wasn't bad back then, 2 hour flight to Florida. Had a good flight and a great time.

Too much stress nowadays (layovers/connecting flights, delays, etc.).   I'd much rather take my time and drive, if at all possible.  

With everything going digital now, it seems that file cabinets are becoming more or less obsolete.  I find they are often available on the cheap or even for free.

Aside from holding paperwork, what other things might they be used for?  

My first thought was take out the drawers, lay them down face-up and voila!, instant rasied bed.  Probably not the best use though, due to the possiblity of toxic gick from the paint.

Seed storage is another thought. As long as the bottom is on a solid suface, they are completely rodent-proof.

Storing canned goods is another thought.

Maybe make a small shed out of them?  They are very strong and could be screwed together to form the walls and would provide lots of instant storage space.

Any other ideas come to mind?

I do and highly recommend it to anyone of any age, along with Qi Gong.  

Both are great for improving and maintaining balance, flexability, coordination and inner peace.  

I've especially noticed the benefits when working in the garden. Being able to balance on one foot while stepping between plants is especially useful when weeding or anytime I'm working low to the ground, like picking strawberries and green beans.

I've taken Tai Chi classes instructed by David Chandler and enjoy them immensely. If there are no instructers in your area, he offers Zoom classes on Saturday mornings. Here's a link for anyone interested:   Eagle's Quest Tai Chi Center


One of my favorite instructors for Qi Gong is Shi Heng Yi. I find him to be a true inspiration.

This is an excellent 20 minute routine for beginners:


My other favorite Qi Gong instructor is Nick Loffree. This is a very gentle routine that helps me unwind before going to bed:

Friday night?   Deee-lite!

So, Robot dancing has come a long way over the years...




Then 'Robot Vall' enters the chat and takes things to a new level.  His level of core strength, coordination and balance is off the chart!

When I listen to Yes, so do my neighbors.
