6. I'm 73:
Tue Jun 2, 2026, 09:33 AM
Yesterday

I practice my profession as an employee/independent contractor well three days weekly, read, listen and explore music of many types and perform other duties and tasks pretty well.

In no way shape or form do I have the stamina, mental capacity to learn quickly and thoroughly, sleep patterns, and physiology of my middle age and before. I would never volunteer to be the head of anything, although I would be happy to work for something or someone and have a terrific attendance and work ethic.

I accept this as a normal function of aging and am happy just to be here.
