"I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now ..." I think that mostly applies to the self important seriousness of youth. We realize as we age, and perspective is one of the few perks of aging, that things we were passionate about, especially acquisition and accomplishment hold less sway. Now, simply watching a grandson jumping, splashing, jumping,splashing on the steps of our pool is more entertaining than any concert I have ever attended.

I agree with your thesis, Dale. It's one of the big surprises. ;-)
