When I'm in my 80s, I hope I still feel like this. :-)

    Well, there ya go! I hadn't thought about coming at the subject from the 'age' direction. And I echo the sentiment, should I live that long.

    Cool one. Mr. Kirkegaard thinks the pain will out weight the pleasure by then. It is scary to think about getting old. Might be better to be a bug. They can't foresee their own death.

    Someone said: “You're never too old to become younger” I like that

  25. hey willie: a favor to ask: would you do a sketch about two friends who live too far from eachother to have daily coffee, gossip, hold hands or lie on the couch and talk philosophy.

    i hope it's ok to ask, and of course it's definitely ok not to expect!

    hope all is well, willie

    :)

  27. why did you say, "wow?"....I guess there is a contagious lonliness sickness going around...summer just cant come quick enough...

  28. A unique thought. Instead of THE 80s, you speak of YOUR 80s. I'm personally not that hopeful about my 80s. Unless I'm dead and floating around like a bug on a leaf in heaven.
