I am sitting with my legs crossed on my chair in front of a computer communicating with people of similar interests I would never have met in a lifetime of travel even a few decades ago. We used to call these places Universities, now they are just factories to produce 'financial wizards' that enrich themselves and their employers at our cost.
Whatever the euphemism is for old it will eventually become derogatory
So it does not matter to me what words are used to describe me. Any opinion is better than none.
My only fear is that my mind will deteriorate due to diseases such as Alzheimer's. It used to be live fast die young and leave a good looking corpse. What is the good of dying with an aged well abused body when the mind left decades earlier. There are far worse things than dying.
Anyway must get back on those thingies on the end of my legs and do something constructive.
