Amen to all 12,(and especially #12!) except now at 54, I now am starting to worry about a lot of those things for other reasons. 


I do, at least, still remember all the words to the song.... "will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64?" 


PS...socks?  What socks?


 


Peace and tranquility,


Dan
