How are we to feel young when our youngest daughter just turned 30?

13. I'm not really "looking" to feel any particular way, so have no fear

I'm definitely of the Popeye school of philosophy on that point ("I yam what I yam and that's all what I yam&quot .

Or maybe like that old Mel & Kim song from the 1980s: "Take or leave us, but please believe us, we ain't ever gonna be respectable."

I focus, to the point that anyone with a crazy life like mine can focus on anything, on being with my still-beautiful wife, my never-boring job, hoping our girls are happy with their lives but without interfering, my music, my writing, and stealing a few weeks every year to chill out where few bother to chase after me (the outer tip of Cape Cod).

On the other hand, our orthopedist said that this model (the human body) has an intended shelf life of sixty years, and anything beyond that exceeds nature's warranty. In the space of 3 weeks, I've had one trip over to Berlin, and three each to Belgium, France and Spain. I think I need my million mile checkup soon.
