Sensitive notes from a worldly-knowledgable man who
is in his late 50's...

I wouldn't want to live to be 100 in this world. In the
world I grew up in where three generations of each family
saw each other every week and ate at the same table,
I'd want to live in that age.

The problem is that it takes two generations to turn a
rotten society around. Two ... if you're lucky. Well,
we've got Gen-Y now in their twenties and they are
the end product of decadent, spoiled capitalism.
They CANNOT turn the ship around. Maybe their
children can.

I don't know if you observe very old people much. I
mean people older than 80. Most of them don't look
like they're having much fun. I would rather measure
my life by the LIFE IN MY YEARS RATHER THAN
THE YEARS IN MY LIFE. I'd rather have another
two good decades and then call it a day.

Until then, I plan to live life to the hilt.
