In 1976 I moved to Ottawa from Montreal to attend University. The building complex where I lived had an intercom system which broadcasted one local radio station, CFMO and they only played big band dance music 1930-1960. This radio station no longer exist today. The listeners were all from the generation born between 1920 and 1930, they were now approaching that certain age. The music was of their younger days when the world was their oyster.
Marcus T. Cicero, 106 BC to Dec 43 BC
Hearing this from Guy Lombardo today reminded me that I am entering this age now when life is behind you and not in front of you. I will have to re-read Marcus Tullius Cicero’s book entitled ” How to grow old”. Ancient wisdom for the second half of life.
A little book filled with ancient wisdom, Cicero suggest gardening and reading gives more pleasure than sex. The book addresses fears about old age, and Cicero persuasively argues they are greatly exaggerated. Cicero was my age when he wrote that book the year before he was assassinated.

Good heavens Laurent, you’re not dead yet! As for sex, maybe chase Will around the kitchen table once or twice, just be cautious, I don’t want someone putting a hip out!

Pour mettre la cerise sur le sundae de Guy Lombardo: il y a quelques années, la ville de London (ON) a fermé le musée consacré à sa carrière; le public ne venait tout simplement plus. Les gens l’avaient oublié.

I like gardening but sex is more enjoyable for me.

The music from my “glory days” was disco, country rock, and punk. When I travel to my home town I run across channels still playing Molly Hatchet and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Time warp. Makes me grateful that those times are in the distant.

Hi Larry, enjoyed the musical interlude. I for one, who am experiencing diminishing powers in the department you mention, still would never want to go back. Sure, time has snuck up, but the best moment, past or present, good or bad, is the one I experience right now. . . no now. . . no now. . . shit there it all goes again! 🙂 Take care.
PS: At he end of the month my daughter will marry a PEI man and I will have his family (half of PEI) staying at our house, any advice?

Congratulations on your daughter marrying an Islander. They will probably move to PEI at some point. Islanders like a nice drink, DO NOT mention Anne of Green Gables, she is only loved by tourists. Remember PEI seafood is best including the oysters. A lot of Islanders love the Blue Jays.
