Growing Old



Zigzagging through life … zigging a couple of times when I should have zagged … but dodging the many others designed to take me down ... I realize that my survival instincts must have been OK.


But now my reflexes are shot and I’m no longer lithe … or blithe … so I have to get by using what’s left of my wits. So, Pilgrim, please forgive if, at 84, my poor eyesight, falling memory or age-related conservatism … offend you.


I am cursed to continue telling the truth as best I see it. — Fletcher



STAND UP FOR SURVIVING!

I am also growing older - and wiser - and what I've learned is that people in possession of a "higher truth" make poor company. Your apology is conditionally accepted...if you try being more entertaining and less dogmatic. Because nothing you (or I) publish here will change anything.
