I count it as wisdom. By and large, fashion trends are stupid.

you got that right...

I shop at Kohls and Target for clothes. I don't drive anything special, it has four wheels and goes reliably, that's all I ask. I can't begin to tell you even one of the top 10 bands on the radio today. I don't own a smart phone, IPhone, IPad, Ipod, or Xbox.

As for fitness, I generally watch what I eat, and walk at lunch - that's how I get "personal time" at work. No expensive gym memberships (with accompanying late evenings/early mornings) or fad diets for me. Could I stand to lose a few more pounds? Sure, but I'm not losing sleep over it.

My time and money gets spent on things that are important. Like the family camping trip that's coming up. Or our Beach Trip this fall. Or Family time at T'giving. And so on. Like tonite, Mrs WBill has plans, so WBill Jr. and I are going out for hot dogs and ice cream (his choice, though I like them too :-) ), then we might play with his HotWheels cars. I can't wait.

It's all about having the sense to know what's important. And...what this article tells me is that it takes "average" men 46 years to figure it out, and "average" women 59 years.
