OLD IS BETTER

Blog number 318 **** 21 July 2009

I unexpectedly saw myself in a mirror a couple of days ago and for the first time I saw an old man looking back at me - an old man like my beloved Grandpa.

Now that I know I am an old man, I feel freer than when I thought I was still young. I now feel free to ask questions of strangers that I used to not ask because I never felt comfortable asking questions of strangers about what they were doing. Males might think I was being aggressive, females might think I was trying to pick them up.

I can be even more proactive with babies and young'uns now, too.

It's a good life.
