Unlike a relative who used to constantly complain about growing older, I brag about it. I'm proud of having lived over four and a half decades. I really feel I've grown wiser. Then again, we all know there's no fool like an old fool.It goes without saying that as a kid, most of the planet is older. Then, as a teenager, most pop singing idols are just a bit older. Eventually, one surpasses the average age of hot movie stars. After that, one begins to notice that supervisors and managers at work are younger. I just had a shock though. I've discovered I was born the same year as Stephen Harper, the new Prime Minister of Canada. Ye gads, can it be true? I am already as old as politicians!
I hope I'm able to watch these trends continue for a long time, especially considering the alternative.
