Live in northern California once, but leav e before it makes you soft. Respect your elders. Don t expect anyone else to support you. Don t mess too much with your hair or by the time you re forty, you ll look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling for more than it's worth. But trust me on the sunscreen.
