JeanieS: I LOVED my 60th birthday - but I had geared myself up for it too. I won't go into all the ^&*(*% that has happened since my 60th birthday but I am beginning to think that it's a milestone of a different kind foretelling the demise of your body - piece by piece by piece. Kind of like an old beloved jalopy – first the hub cap falls off, then a bumper, then a tail pipe – and pretty soon, pieces and parts are falling off in rapid succession to the point that all you have is an axel and a seat, maybe the steering column.
Question: If you could go back in time to a favorite age, which year would it be? Why?
