At nearly sixty two, I feel the changes.

Here is a stream of thought list written down & posted without filters or edits:

• The ground is further away than it used to be.
• Big Macs are small.
• Mostly (but not always): TV is shit. Social media is shit. Movies are shit. Music is OK. Books are awesome.
• I am way less stressed about things.
• I am becoming my father (well, bits of me).
• I have less tolerance for bullshit, and I give less fucks (probably than is socially acceptable).
• Ambulances are driven by 16 year olds.
• Years pass more quickly than days.
• The world is ads.
• I am less smart.
• I am sliding slowly to the left of the introvert–extrovert spectrum.
• Wisdom is available.
• The machine is beginning to have operational issues.
• Art matters more.
• Bedtime is soon.
• Avoiding the ‘cynical old man’ cliff is a full time challenge. And it’s slippery at the edges.
• Small things matter more.
• Most’experts’ seem too young for me to take seriously.
• Busses are free.
• My legacy will be to leave no trace.
• Mental and physical well-being is everything.
• I don’t have many close friends anymore.
• Mirrors must be lying.
• I am now in the home stretch.
• Weights at the gym are getting heavier. Or the earths gravitational pull is increasing.
• I no longer feel the impetus to solve the worlds problems.
• I embrace it all.
