I just want to put everyone on notice.After a weekend of grunting and straining up at the cottage and enduring the aches and pains that come afterward for a man in his 50s, I was reminded that I've been meaning to say this.
I'm planning on being old. If I'm lucky.
Not a "senior citizen." Not a "golden ager." One editor of a magazine for the elderly even suggested "polygenerarians." I hope he was joking.
Oh. And one more thing. I won't "pass on." I plan on dying. Lord knows I've tried enough times already, usually by interesting and dramatic methods, but no luck so far. But I will succeed eventually!
So, all you young whippersnappers take note of the new instructions.
