ANCILLARY ADVICE
Hogan Torah Wants My Advice
Who am I to say no to Hogan Torah
If you can’t dine out on the crazy shit that’s happened to you and that you’ve done, what is the good of living?
I’m flattered. Hogan is not someone you would expect to ask for advice lightly.
Apparently — according to the calendar and society — I’m also something of an old(er) person. And that — one hopes — makes me wiser.
Hogan Torah wisely stated in his article requesting advice from us seniors on Medium that we are Ballers, and I concur. He also mentions that while we don’t give advice often, we do write of our aging experiences, but usually only with humor. I don’t think he meant that as approval.
It is true that much of the humor about aging isn’t all that funny. A lot of that humor is getting — old.
It’s also true that humor is what has gotten me through the worst parts of getting older. Breaking both ankles at the same time. Fun physical issues caused by aging. Becoming less of the Western standard of beauty daily. Getting plastic surgery in a last-ditch effort to slow down the latter.
