This last week I met Claire (name has been changed), a 72 year old more full of life than anyone I had ever met.

   As I started my morning routine with coffee in hand and started to dig in to the morning posts something didn't feel right. I realized after about 9 comments that the back porch report was missing. I went looking and realized the Codgers had missed two days in a row posting. Could this be? HOW...
