“He who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age…” — Plato
Okay, I’m jazzed, that Greek fellow is right, let’s get started! What, you’re feeling a little sleepy? Sleep when you die, I say. I’m more of the Groucho Marx ideal, I plan to live forever or die trying. Or, something like that. Because if you’re 40 or older, and think the long slow slide home is underway, well, it might well be. But let’s not get our knickers in a twist. Let’s not go out without a fight, eh? Rage, rage against the dying of the light, and all that rot!
So what if the first half of this game of life is over. I mean, we’ve got so many cool gadgets and doohickeys and gizmos today to make our second half more fun and even easier. Let’s list a few: like wine, we should be getting better with age, making better decisions, like kicking back to enjoy a nice rich, bold glass of something red — and, I have the perfect wine opener, the Screwpull, because it never fails; my pals, John and Becky Fulgoni, now have quality time on their hands, and like to take hiking vacations to verdant places like Wales and New Zealand, so John recommends the Osprey Talon 22 pack as your go-to carry solution for day hiking; you’ll need a perfect wallet to stash your valuables like the MKC “Swiss Army” Wallet, which holds everything but the kitchen sink; and, if you always like to have energy bars or athletic recovery snacks close at hand, check out these healthy cannabis superfoods. Hey, why not, let them sue you!
So, in upcoming “The Art of Aging Brilliantly” Blogs, we’re going to have some fun, mention doohickeys and gizmos that can help us during our second half — hey, the game ain’t over till Tottenham-born Adele sings! Nudge, nudge, wink, wink…
