"Time and trouble will tame an advanced young
woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force."—Sir
Impey Biggs, in Dorothy L. Sayers (pictured), Clouds of Witness (1926)

Song Lyric of the Day (Pete Townshend, on Old Age)
“I hope I die before I get old.”—“My Generation,” performed by The Who, written by Pete Townshend, from the My Generation LP (1965)
Too late, Pete Townshend. You turn 65 today. You’re now part of what you shuddered at years ago as a rebellious youth.
Well, think of it this way: Despite some infirmities, you’re still very much what might be thought of as an active adult. And old age is better than the alternative.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot--happy birthday!
