RE: Old age
April 20, 2010 at 1:36 pm
I had a Tango instructor teach me about the mindset in Argentinian society along with a whole bunch of stuff that only loosely tied in to dancing. He summed up their take on reality in one sentence, "Yesterday was better than today and tomorrow is going to be worse." At first I didn't get it but when you hold that ideal then you can appreciate Tango much better. I'm an optimist though so, I don't dance Tango anymore. /random

25-35 has been a good time for me but I am really starting to feel my age; I recover slower, and my reactions have slowed. I make up for these problems through my limited wisdom, but agree with Dotard's statement, "If I only knew then what I know now...."

Hey wait, Dotard, you are older than me; what should I know now? Smile
