Getting older. What a thing. Almost as insidious as the accumulation of future security in your 401K. Many things change, with age. Thoughts. Feelings. The body. Ah, the body. A few grey whiskers, the gentle accumulation of paunch, the creakiness of joints . . . . these things I can handle . . . but the way in which the hairdresser near-unconsciously "tut tuts" as she pathetically tries to disguise my receding fringe . . . that's just plain cruel . . .
