This week's blog post is actually a poem I wrote as I tried to sort out my feelings about aging:

"I shall smite you in the nostrils with a rod of iron, and wax your spleen with Efferdent!!"

ER

That's the way to screech defiance in the face of time.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

Paquita

I thought it was great!  If it makes you feel better, you're the same age as my older brother, and I still don't feel like he's that old.

Just a thought - My mother was one of 9 children born between 1938 and 1959.  I have heard my uncles constantly lamenting about how old they are for the last 20 years - 20 YEARS of complaining about being old!  They now go between complaining about being old and reminiscing about how young they were 20 years ago when they were whining about how old they were. 

I think you have the right idea.  Also, I love old dudes and when I smile at them, I mean it.
