So...now I'm 71 years, 11 months, 29days, and approximately 23 hours old. Ask me anything.

30. Happy birthday!1 So asking you anything, as one too-few years behind you:

Do you agree with (below)?

* I feel as "young" (meaning, IMMATURE) as ever.

* I hate birthdays.

* Increasingly, others SEE me (on sight) as being an old geezer despite (the first point, above).

* Despite my not buying the generalization about younger generations being less polite, less educated, less thoughtful, etc., I do see some individuals as being bluntly disrespectful. I "joke" (not really) telling them I hate young people.

* Time is flying exponentially faster all the time.

* (Despite #1, above) I do notice memory gaps in grasping for words and such and how much of the lifespan past is erased.
