I will admit, I have become a bit set in my ways at fifty. I don't feel fifty, but then neither did I feel forty when I turned that milestone. I have come to understand (through hindsight) that it is human nature to understand and appreciate things *through* hindsight. From time to time, one should turn around and look in the direction of their hind end. That is the beginning of wisdom, as long

It is officially New Year's Day, as I sit here writing this. I have had a long day, and a short nap, and for some reason my mind is still awake.I have had a *day*.
