I do talk about being older, but mostly in other forums and threads when I feel age is relevant to the ongoing conversation.

For instance, in discussions about the corrupt GOP, I may mention that in my childhood there was such a beast as a moderate Republican. It's like admitting you once knew dinosaurs (no fossil jokes, please).

My comments in the Energy & Environment forum are... dark, suffice it say that age has its blessings. Despite my curiosity to know how things go in the future, I'm just as glad I won't be around to see events first-hand. Given what a ray of sunshine I am, it's probably just as well I don't post more.
