Embedded.

 When I say I'm an old man...

I believe every part of these bodies has a limit on how many movements it can make, just like any mechanical vehicle. We just aren't issued the owners manual because there is no warranty. 

And we can only have soooo many experiences. That includes dreaming.

😇

There are people who read my things and think I'm depressed. 

Quite the opposite. 

As Tolkien said, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. 

My Mother passed 26 years ago. She is with me 24/7. So is every one of my family and friends. It doesn't matter the miles, or words. 

I'm just trying to make it to the next grandkid. At the moment, that would be Tobias, but they just keep coming. 

Old man stuff...

 Easy...

Isn't worth it. 

Only fools will tell you it is. 

Even in failure, you can teach someone in another generation. 

This is what I mean 

when I say, as I have many times, 

it takes all kinds. 

Bad times make damn good people, eventually. 

While it is not anyone's chosen way to go, 

because it obviously sucks more than most can imagine, 

Angels are sometimes made from Devils. 

Purpose. 

 Just went outside. I know it's humid, air is heavy. No problem breathing. Doctor took me off one medication, and I may have my some life back again. This has been getting worse for 6 years. 

No antihistamines. 

Turns out fresh air can bring tears to my eyes. 

Natural instincts...

 The worse the appearance I create

 the more I learn about my superiors

my experts

My betters. 

The way things are worded, as If I didn't understand

the fact that you can hear them talking in the other room

The reason they can talk like that in front of you

as if you weren't there

It's cute, the way they overestimate their superiority. 

Whatever. I'm well past the caring of "my numbers". I'm Long into, helping YOU !

 I like it like this. Maybe it will be a surprise to some, a few generations down the line...maybe not. I hope for our "uniqueness" but who knows how long that survives?   

But as Mister, Master, or as I believe he should, SIR Davies once said, " I'm not like everybody else" !      I think we both mean it, in the best possible way. 

I just write stuff. I meant it, by the way.     So did Mr. Davies, and many others.  

Kinks, young one. Google the Kinks.  And the Animals.   And you will go on a rabbit hole that goes into generations, looking for a sound that you thought was new...Nick Lowe, and Costello can take you down the hole as well....

History is amazing if you don't assume you don't know everything. 

Busted out the old footwear, and the cane.

 

 As serious as things are, I still find myself smiling.
