Already too old to die young

I’m fifty. Half a century. Already too old to die young. It seems like an appropriate time to take stock and look back. I was considering the changes I’ve seen just in my meager lifetime and thinking perhaps I would make a few notes before I forget how things used to be. Harking back to the halcyon days of my youth when summers were longer and people were nicer? Hell no. I’m not THAT old yet! (though I hope to be one day) I like having internet access and a mobile phone. I was brought up on Star Trek: the future’s so bright I gotta wear shades.
