This is especially for "old guys" but has application for women as well. It has been my experience that when many men get to about age 75 and often sooner, they are pretty much over the hill -- NOT all men, but too many. Unfortunately, when a man becomes a widower or divorced at an advanced age and hasn't been in a relationship for several years, he may no longer know how to interact with a new woman in his life.

Every so often I wonder if the world is going so fast that it will just whirl off it's axis and speed away into the wild blue yonder? I hope that before it does, we will have established the fact that those who are referred to as seniors, will have had time to leave a legacy that will showcase the fact that we do not have to accept illness, cranky behavior, and feelings of uselessness as part of maturing.
