Groping in the recesses of my mind for the reference and not coming up with anything but is picturesque enough!

LOL.

Self-aggrandizing grandstanding is reserved in these-here parts for old-timers.

Be careful. 40-year-old babies would not be a good idea.

Observation seems to indicate that you are correct.

BTW, in my early 20's, I was going to live forever.

As a great band once said in a song:

When we are young
Wandering the face of the earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we’re only immortal
For a limited time

If the Law of Accelerating Returns holds up, we're in for quite a ride.

You'd have to live forever, in order to read this damned thing.
