Well yes Cashy....we are all heading in that general direction...but I don’t dwell on it.
You don’t when you are only 14 in your head....you wonder if it will be fine so that you can go out on your roller skates.
I try to learn something new every year....most of the things I try to learn are practical....learning to do calligraphy in different forms....trying to learn how to draw.....painting, graphics(for that I use my computer so not totally technophobic.
I also try to solve practical problems when things go wrong....and I keep the grey cells dancing with crosswords and word puzzles too.
I do not want to get into the hinterland of my life and be able to hide my own Easter Eggs.
