Pac Man is the last time I played a video game. OK, growing old is a pain, but it still takes you by surprise. From the inside, I don't feel much different from the day I graduated from college. My own passing years have provided me a wonderful wife and two great children. However, those same years have taught me that time is never frozen.
Children grow up and become adults.
Newcomers in communities become longtimers. Whatever is part of our life today won't necessarily be there tomorrow. And though we aging graybeards may feel the same on the inside, our bodies and those around us are there to remind us that change is inevitable. Such reminders cause those of us advancing in years to circle the wagons. I don't drool, or at least everyone is too polite to point out any problems.
