Vance, Loved the post. It reminded me of an old Doors song:

Five to one, baby

One and five

No one here gets out alive, now

You get yours, baby

I’ll get mine

Gonna make it baby

If we try

The old get old

And the young get stronger

May take a week

May take longer

They got the guns

But we got the numbers

Gonna win

We’re taken over

Your ballroom days are over, baby

Night drawing near

Shadows crawl across the years

Walk across the floor a flower in your hand

Trying to tell me no one understands

Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes

Gonna make it, baby, in our prime

The Doors

Age definitely has its pitfalls, but we all go to the same place, someday. Remember Jim Morrison died at 27.
