re: #220 HappyWarrior

I started feeling it when the sports rookies all were younger than me but also my closets brother in age.

Yeah. First, the athletes are your age, then the athletes your age start retiring, then they start doing commercials for arthritis drugs, then they start dying off.

By the time you reach 50, you’ll have been in a conversation that starts, “Do you remember So-and-So? He was about our age? He just dropped dead of a heart attack!”
