Self Portrait

They still don't find me savvy enough to be respected as aged sir ... I haven't been serious yet enough to be confused as serious man... I'm still playful that much to be considered responsible ... I'm not eld enough to be treated as wise ... or grumpy enough to be appointed to the post of elderly ... and yet I'm not spent enough to be seen as "non operant" ... Thank heaven no... I'm completely different: because I actually am one crazy boy of 60-something ...! And live...!!

Jeff, i agree age is in the heart and mind...Sem fazer favor, i would say that old is in the heart and mind too ! it is just a case of one's thinking and feeling... and do not feel this way ! salute my friend, alkas
