Forty-Two and Felicitous
42 today, 42 today....
Finally I am starting to feel old and my body is starting to fail me. But I know this state of affairs will not last, at least not mentally.
I was just trying to plot my mental age, which I think varies like a sine wave, against my advancing physical, or rather chronological age. For example, when I was 15 or so, my outlook was much like that of a stereotypical 45 year old - crusty and nasty and conservative. When I was about 27, I felt practically 16, full of juice and beans! At 42, I feel I have the outlook of a 34 year old, when I'm 50 I'll feel 50, and then hopefully a long slide into my third childhood and irreversible senility by age 73 or so.
Unfortunately, I can't get Excel to plot this sort of thing for me, so you will just have to imagine the chart....

no subject
I had plans to show up at Lucky and see you and the Batnix and all that... but I've not slept well for a while and I feel like someone is standing on my face...
Have a good knock-about, eh?
