About to turn 60 on Saturday. My age now seems to me like an unconscionable pile of years. My childhood is so far behind me now it seems almost completely effaced by time and weariness.
The best thing I can say report is that my health is excellent for a being of my advanced age. Not like those prodigies who swim the English Channel at 60, but very encouraging nonetheless. I can still carry a pack up a steep trail almost as well as I did 30 years ago. I just pace myself differently.
However, I am old enough now that I can see over the horizon to where I shall eventually leave ordinary adulthood behind me and enter some new epoch that is more about staying alive than anything else. Thank goodness I am not there, yet, but it feels real to me in ways it didn't ten years ago. You may soon look forward to me posting daily reports on ilx about the state of my bowels and joints. When I do, you may all just FP me out of my misery. I'll understand.
