1940 — Junior, already a focused observer as shown here — Connie with or without sister Gloria who lived one day as a ‘blue baby’ — urbanite tavern-owner-son, Senior (Rh+), shown not yet into the full stupor as a functioning alcoholic (he lived to 78y through six dry-up cures until drink made him really sick due to an exhausted liver).

2025 — looking ‘into’ his ‘magic-window’ iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard connected to “in-car home” internet, Harv jokingly laughs, (when he can get his keys LIT all-the-timeπŸ€₯) — Harv laughs at his EXTERIOR SELF while at his daily-picnic-in-the-county-park [he is now TRESPASSED there πŸ˜•] — HARV is forever curious of his INNER SELF related to world-wariness via his curated “FREE” CHOICES. Local-yokel modernity-reality — if Harv does not behave he takes responsibility for his own chosen life-way — continually adjusting as he has perceived being trespassed from many places by many individuals — Harv respects them all, although he moves on his life-time path-way.

to Milwaukee

1937 ? — Connie bolted from Marshfield live-in domestic work (indentured since grade five), to Milwaukee to mother’s-side south-Milwaukee relatives and perhaps domestic work for an east-side Milwaukee dentist.

Armand

1937? 1938? 1939? 1940? — Armand Otto south-Milwaukee-tavern-owner hung himself (cancer?).

1941 - THIS KID, today, still works his lifetime as a JOB! “Huh ?“ πŸ™„ ? RETIRED ? Contrarily, HarvOtto.com exists as a work of SELF study evidential narration challenge. Likely, it is a psychiatric COMPLEXITY CHALLENGE to understand SELF (effectualness navigation required). SELF IDEATION begins in the brain, develops in mind, via tasks chosen by a faceted self, πŸ˜‰ ie, I-self, Me-self, We-self. πŸ€ͺ BE HAPPY with your own brain-mind-self as a JOB-mess πŸ€ͺ. (Background pic represents Harv’s inherent tradition of being-aside, ie, ALONE.) His SELF study began in the 1970s as THEORY W.
Before Harv’s INNER SELF study seriously took over his whole-hour lifetime interest. Harv had his “chasing-family’ lifetime-phase — well worth the time spent, but that chase was not the crux for KNOWING HIS SELF (his two preliminary SELF-keyword's are ALONE and TWEAK — perhaps MINIMALISM is another). A fairly stable book title has snuck out — NOT to be available soon in book stores near you.

week 46 challenge:  define and practice a set of Old Age niceties as an end-of-life Way of Life (WoL also QoL).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harv’s new Old Age lifestyle may be considered in light of a French v American culture distinction:

The excitement that drives Anglophones to action, motivating us and driving us to look ahead is not 
nearly as present in France. But … contentment in simple pleasures certainly are. And when one is living 
in the moment, there’s no need to think about – or get excited about – what’s next.

Harv renews focus on his niceties invention and betterment.  That could be seen as a parallel to the issue of nationalism:

nationalism-paris-armistice/index.html) Macron offered a clear message about the 
dangers of nationalism while hosting the ceremony commemorating the armistice Sunday. With Trump -- a 
self-declared "nationalist" -- seated stone-faced in front of him, Macron delivered a stinging rebuke of the US 
President's "America First" agenda.  "Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism," Macron said. 
"Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. By saying 'our interests first; who cares about the others?', we erase 
what a nation holds dearest, what gives it life, what makes it great, and what makes it essential — its moral 
values."  Macron later warned that "the old demons" have resurfaced, declaring that "giving into the fascination 
for withdrawal, isolationism, violence and domination would be a grave error" for which future generations 
would hold them accountable.

His Elder Self Care is a simple sum:

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-46179118 (12 November 2018) Fat-clogged cells explain why obesity can 
cause cancer. To reduce risk:
keep a healthy weight,
stop smoking,
eat a healthy diet,
cut back on alcohol,
avoid sunburn.

To promote super health within his “80yo age afflictions” that he “simply” lives with:

Orient PCP service to a geriatrics foundation,

In the macro a look back is a simple question:

One advantage, Bull says, is that slices of gap time allow people to try out different activities to 
see whether they want to pursue them in retirement. “(Short gap stints) are a great way to make that transition — 
it can give people a stepping stone towards finding something that really lights them up,” she says.

Only one thing shines bright from Harv’s 80 years — that is, his interest of hi tech, specifically his investment in computers
since 1980.  Another is his interest in the broad view — that is, taught all the capping courses at Benedictine, retiring at 52y
to resolve the application of this broad view interest to his questioned retirement years that may not have, in fact, started. 
An interesting view at this late stage of near 20 years in ‘retirement.’
