Ah good one pardner, I understand man. Perhaps, just perhaps, the use of gettin' old is to reach the point -because of all the lacks and loses- one can learn to take life as she comes at us, good n bad n ugly, no matter which horse she rides, cause we done been-there, done-that, etc... plus, maybe just ta help the kids n grand kids learn how to ride that rough ole bronc of living, and help em get back in the saddle a bit easier when they get throwed off. Great writing -as always- pal. Peace.
