1. I turned 77 Monday

I feel ancient. I went out to do a nice fast paced walk because I turned 77. It went well enough. But today I feel the aches and pains of the experience

My advice - wear good walking shoes when you're out and about. And maybe bring a stylish cane for security.

12. Dropped an actual paper ass dollar on the ground and thought, "Well that's a shame," and continued on my way.

I had been “getting old” for a while.

But when that happened, I knew I’d arrived.

13. I turned 82 last January and have come to terms with my status

Mastering new stuff like QR codes and internet security is just something you have to do to live. I think the big crash will come in a few years when I cannot drive.

14. When I referred to someone as a 'fine young man' once, unironically.
