      The glaring reality of just how naive younger people are about life is kinda epic, and I would assume exponentially so for life in the 70's and no. The biggest irony is how as people are younger they keep thinking they will have everything figured out as they get older, to some point everything is easy, great and well-balanced. Couldn't be further from the truth, except that being older allows you to handle the issues better and you've been desensitized to most the bad stuff having seen so much in your life. Older people still have a song or some comments that hit them in the heart, and issues galore (probably more so with life closer to ending and the finality being more imminent), but it is taken in stride.

      Hearing rice crispies when you work out is common.

      I went dancing last night and seem to have hurt my hip. I'm 43.

      I will be applying for assisted living soon.
