I'm wondering if any of my fellow fifty-and-older folks are looking at their lives right now and thinking "it's only going to get worse from here until I die"
Not just politically and environmentally but also personally
I can't imagine anything really cool happening to me in my sixties or later

For some of us that didn't happen and it ain't going to now
I still enjoy some things but I've reached that age where life starts to repo the furniture
I told a friend that and she said I should get a dog
I'm not a dog person
And I'm allergic
And I can't deal with the responsibility
And it's not the same as having a fellow human that you can reliably laugh with
Life looks up from its iPhone and seems surprised that you're still here
It's not about age, it's about potential
I really wanted to do something good with my life
The life of the deceased was described in the same way by nearly everyone there: he loved his Porsche, and he loved running
Oh yeah and he loved his wife a lot too, which frankly you gotta say if she's there
Amazingly bleak
Because I love all the things
I'd like people to say that about me
He loved crows and cats and capybaras and crickets and snakes and spiders, and mice too
He loved all the things
