the Infinite Monkey speaks: on the proof I’m aging

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

There is no easier way to frighten the pants off of anyone over thirty than by telling them anecdotes that make it abundantly clear that they are aging: ‘The Tale Of the Little Girl Who Had No Idea What A VHS Tape Was’, ‘I Handed A Child A Real Photograph And It Tried To Zoom In Using Its Fingers (A True Story)’, ‘What Is The Relation Between A Cassette Tape And A Pencil: A Horror Story In Two Acts’.

the Infinite Monkey speaks: on aging gracefully

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

At 52 I am not old, no matter what the 30- and 40-somethings  say.  I comfort myself with knowing they’ll get theirs.

the Infinite Monkey speaks: on the peak of thirteen

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

Standing on the peak of thirteen, my childhood looked to be a million miles away, the pathway back, long forgotten. On that first summit of my teenaged years, I thought I would be able to see the world, or at least find a clearly marked path that would lead me to my dreams. I didn’t know what they were yet, but was sure I would recognize them once I saw them. No one told me it would be so hard.
