Unfortunately, when you get to a certain age, you start attending funerals for your ex-coworkers.

A few of the people you would like to see show up there if they still live close.

I did a little checking and it all agrees with the reporting.

I asked ChatGPT is similar question earlier this week. This was the answer.
