I used to be afraid of getting old, but I like this perspective. It's not something to look forward to, but something to be proud of.

I'm a hair older than him.

I hurt pretty often. I get tired more easily. I have hangovers now. If I jump out of the bed of a pickup my knees make noises. I could go on for days about it.

And it's great. I don't worry about what people think and I have adventures. I do what I want outside of work. And I have stories and hobbies and old friends.

Wisdom of old age is great. Age related chronic diseases are not.

We can do better than now. But we need investment in research and development. You may ask your elected representatives to provide it.
