I'm old, cranky, & set in my ways, but I'm heeerre...

Hello all!
Despite my username, I am staring down the barrel of birthday #60 (I was a still youthful 39 yrs old when I joined ATS - it's been a rough 10 years!)

I do a lot more reading than posting these days, and have a deep appreciation for a great many longtime members of ATS, many of whom seem not to be around there much anymore...

I joined Rogue Nation during one of the ATS 'glitches', but I find it a bit overwhelming 'user-wise' so not sure how often I'll 'visit' here -

- But, I am grateful for the opportunity to join the "Deny Ignorance" forum and thank you to KKLOCO from ATS for the link over there, which brought me here.

Age is just a number, but....

When I was 30 if I looked at a picture of my current 59-year-old self I would have likely both laughed and cried. Like I do as I look in the mirror every morning. I then pluck the overnight growth of nose and ear hairs and gleefully try and go about my day....
