- Go to Madness
Age and madness... contagious, I fear, as naivete burns off over the years and experiences. I've long held that cynicism is a condition of adolescence faced with the disappointment of its ideals and schemes, but that also burns off with maturity. I guess to the young, serenity is a kind of madness.

Re: FS
I always wonder what it was like to be old . It is not so dusty as long as one does not fall over.

CCT.....
You just might be the only person older than me.....but no one would ever know if we don't tell them. You keep me trying. I keep thinking, "If he can do it, I can do it" (whatever "it" might be.)

The world keeps on spinning its way through the universe, no matter how dazed and confused we may sometimes be about what's going on near us.
