Aging

Aging is a mysterious trip. The first rule is you've never been there before, therefore the rest of the journey is a new experience. Monday, March 23 marks my 77th birthday. I still think like a 40-year-old which sometimes causes problems. Probably the only thing keeping me sane is that I don't have a wife that nags. Actually, I don't have a wife at all. Having struck out several times, I finally decided that either I wasn't good at being a husband, or I wasn't good at picking the right women. Either way, spells loser. I am successful at being an expert Curmudgeon, which I am proud of/Herb Huseland, Bay Views. More here.

Question: What lessons have you learned as you aged?
