Thoughts on turning 80 [View all]

I turned 80 today.

I had always thought the people who were 80 were old, decrepit, opinionated, cranky, shout at the TV, nap all the time, and pee every hour on the hour.

And now that I'm 80, I discovered that I am old, decrepit, opinionated, cranky, nap all the time, and pee every hour on the hour. So excuse me, I'm going to pee, shout at the TV for a while, then take a nap.
