...and say, "Don't grow old," which when I thought about it, was actually advice to die young.

I outlived him, and am older than both my parents were when their hearts stopped beating. I'm pretty happy about that.

Now, when I wake up in the morning I find it interesting that I'm still alive.

I have lived long enough to recognize how often I've been a fool. There's great joy in that.

I certainly wouldn't want to be in my twenties again. They were a terrible time in my life, and I was even more of an asshole than I am now.

I live by the following adage attributed to Ingmar Bergman: "Growing old is like climbing a mountain. Your breath gets shorter but your views become more expansive."

Congratulations on having lived a long life.
