"Son, it's just like being 20, only with something seriously wrong with your damn body."...
This is a quote from an article by Steve Thompson in his AT LARGE column in the September 8, 2008 issue of AutoWeek magazine and in the story is the answer to this question: A kid asks the old guy to describe being 60 (or 70 or 80), and he replies, "Son, it's just like being 20, only with something seriously wrong with your damn body."
And that is the good thing about our memory, as we get older, we can remember the good times and relive those over and over again , even if it is difficult or impossible to actually do them again.
As I approach the ripe old age of 62, I am not yet at that point but I assume that at some time in the future I will express the same sentiment.
As Bob Hope used to sing "Thanks For The Memory".
