Yep - guilty as charged.

I found it so interesting that, depsite my clear understanding of the sacrcasm and satire you intended, I still had such an emotional reaction to this. Clearly that indicates I need to do some soul-searching in this area. I guess we all do as we come to terms with what aging means and how our definition of self evolves.

Thanks so much for your comments and especially the uplifting insights. It's the ideas that challenge me that I most value and that help us grow.
