“I’m a tad older than RBG-——you make it sound as if we are some strange species.”

Some people think they’ll never reach your age ... they’re probably my age (mid 40s) ... we were trained by our overlords an media idiots at MTV that life ends at 27 or something stupid like that. That’s probably why some people treat older people like trash making comments like that.

One of my best friends is 68 years old ... served in Vietnam and has taught me more about life, the universe, and everything than most college professors I’ve had :-). I hope I make it up there and beyond so that I’m at risk of dying of pneumonia the minute I fall and break my hip :-) (actually, that kind of happened to my grandmother in her early 80s ... she broke her hip and made it a couple years, but passed after an illness related to her liver (which is why I always get mine checked every five years :-) ).
