Geoff:
I have to agree with your sentiment.

I have on more than occasion been accused of behaving as if I 
were in my second childhood, to which my response is "No, I'm 
not on my second childhood - I'm still having too much fun in 
my first one." 

I cannot understand why some people think you have to become 
staid, boring and grumpy once you pass a certain age. Having 
worked professionally as a teacher all my life and spent time 
until fairly recently working with teenagers in our church, I am 
more likely to go and talk to the young people in the church than 
discuss the state of our gardens because of the weather or the 
problems arising from the financial squeeze with older members 
of the congregation whose thinking seems to have got stuck.

I think I shall go and turn a couple of cartwheels and watch one 
of the programmes my 3 year old granddaughter likes  me to 
record for her....

Let's all grow old disgracefully.
