Susan and I talk about the universal experience of growing old and / or growing into our parents - while being surprised by our participation in this universal reality … and what to do about it.
What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9
Call the Smithsonian, I made a discovery
Life ain't forever and lunch isn't free
Loved ones will break your heart
With or without you
Turns out we don't get to know everything
Get the young scientist, tell him come quick
Must be the first man that's ever seen this
Lines on my face, my teeth are not white
My eyes do not work and my legs don't move right …
