Smarter but older
I enjoy grabbing a cup of coffee at my local Starbucks once in a while around 8AM in a week day. I live close to a high-school and it’s interesting to see teenagers hangout, interact with each other, etc.
This morning I took my traditional Grande Coffee, Chocolate croissant, and found a chair near a group of loud kids getting ready to cross the street to got to class. I could not understand what they were talking about - too much slang, too much unsaid, etc. In other words: me start to feel old. Can wisdom compensate for that fact of life? It absolutely does.
Perhaps your March 5 entry points out a contributing factor!?

Bonjour Xavier,
Yes time goes by, mais le temps fait aussi bien les choses. There was an advertisement of the Body Shop I saw some 10 years ago that I find very apropiate, it said something like: ‘Men are like wine. Some turn into vinegar, but most improve with age.’
From what I know from you I think that you fall in the second category

Bob — true
what I need is a few modern pick up lines, a MySpace account and a skateboard 
Rene — Mom used to say that, I guess that confirms…

Wisdom helps, fo shizzle.
Plus age have made my taste buds able to distinguish between a good cup of coffee and an excellent cup of coffee. That’s gotta be worth something too.
Hope you’re doing well.
