If you’re at all like me, there’s the manic periods of development, where things get done… and there are the lulls. What do you like to do in those lulls? Do you have a bin of fun work shit to do? Do you watch videos? Touch grass? Socialize?

Just curious

    One of the things I used to say, probably beginning in my 40s, was “I’m getting too old for this shit.”

    There were certainly occasions when I acted on it, but it didn’t really become the heart of a philosophy until well into my 50s. By then it had transformed into just plain “I’m too old for this shit.”

    I just retired at 66, and am starting to think that maybe workplaces and social “obligations” would be much improved if more people started living it earlier in life.
