It's funny how you don't realize how much your have aged until you are around a bunch of people your age. I remember a few years ago I went to a Kiss concert . My first concert was to see them when I was 13 years old in 1977. I kept looking around thing, man, there are alot of old people here. Then , I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. It wasn't that 13 year old looking at me any more, it was an old man.
Yup. I ran into a gal a couple years ago that tried to talk me into running off and taking her with me when we were... younger. I though "man, she aged well, but aged all the same!" Then I got home, looked in the mirror, and realized we weren't teenagers any more, neither of us. I gotta say, though, I think she aged better than I have, so she probably got the better deal when I wouldn't Take her with me out into that wild green yonder... hope she realized that!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
