Second half of your life can be better than the first

THE young man at the roadside stall called out to me, “Uncle, uncle, your change”. Sigh. One can feel forever young, but one certainly cannot hold back the reality of physical aging.

Often, when I am called upon to speak at a forum or some college gathering, I would preface my presentation with a line that goes something like this, “I am glad that all of you in this room are young enough to call me Uncle.”
