“Old age comes at a bad time.”
Operator of the hungry i Nightclub in San Francisco in the 1960’s
My dream car and a symbol of the 1960’s. Photo taken in the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain.
Bad Timing
Old Cars
“We must recognize that, as we grow older, we become like old cars – more and more repairs and replacements are necessary.”
C. S. Lewis
Photo is of a postcard of Carhenge in Nebraska.
Waiting in Line
“The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.”
Will Rogers
Photo is of the beautiful Truro Cathedral in Cornwall being used for a rummage sale on a Saturday.
Learning by Doing
“I’ve learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.”
Photo is from a beautiful anchorage in the Chesapeake Bay with Gene B.
Routine
“Routine is good, but if you want to stay young, try something new every day.”
From The Quotable Stoic by Michael Lipsey. The water lily photo is from the Missouri Botanical Garden again.
Old Bones
“Old bones feel older in the winter.”
Photo is a Hibiscus from the Missouri Botanical Garden. The quote probably explains why so many retirees head south to Arizona in the winter.
Caring
If it’s worth caring about, it’s worth writing down.
There are probably bigger lies but this is certainly one of the most common.
Planning for Old Age
“Do your debauchery early.”
Norman Lefkowitz
Photo is from Sushi Vibe in Uptown Plaza, Phoenix. It may not be debauchery but sushi is definitely decadent. Wasabi is addictive.
