Go to the Sarasota golf facility and see all of them practicing golf and happily waiting to tee off.

Talk to a few of them. Are they a bunch of tired old codgers or are they senior citizens who think they are teenagers and want to enjoy every day of their life? Do you want to be one of us?

Wow! We did our Lifestyle in Jan 2016. Totally drank the kool aid. It wasn't the squares, or the golf courses, or the rec centers. It was exactly what you said. The people. I remember on the third day, we were watching about eight teams playing water volleyball. I mentioned to my wife "these people are geezers!" She pointed out that so are we. But my point was that they were playing "in your face", "take no prisoners", acting like they were 30.
I wanna be just like them!

Our move in date is April 1, 2019.
