    As an old man, I’ll say that getting older is better than the alternative. But, given the choice, I wouldn’t get older at all.

    Dick is enjoying life, he’s not enjoying being old.

      I’m happy getting older, for now, and that ain’t gonna last. The aches, pains, other weirdness doesn’t bother me so much, but the damned reading glasses give me fits.

      Worn glasses since I was five. Now I have to either carry a pair along with wearing contacts, or take regular glasses off to read.

      Working outside has noticeably improved my close vision though!
