My grandmother, who died at 103, told me not long before she died, "I feel like I've done everything in life I wanted to do." It has stayed with me as the place I would like to be at the end.


I feel like that now!

Best way to accomplish yr goals in life is to never have any.

Once in a while I can recognize a shadow of what life was like 20 years ago and that’s a good feeling

four months pass...

The increasing impossibility of getting through a single post on here longer than five words without a typo, dropped word, etc. (which I can't blame on a cell phone). I'm not sure how much of that is attributable to age, and how much is being too lazy to read over what I've typed. Or if there's any difference.

Still voting for friends/loved ones dying but the physical aches and pains have crept up this year

100 pct of my typos and post errors are due to the dumbass phone

(xpost) Needless to say, those two--and a thousand other things--are worse. But I find the typos exasperating and dispiriting.
