@bibliolater Hadn't read his line about a bartender. 😂 A truly wise man. I need to re-read his book (Computer Power & Human Reason) which I last read when first published--I'm feeling old.
@samueljohnson Join the club about feeling old, I know exactly how you feel.
@bibliolater According to your profile you're a spring chicken. But a friend of mine who got to his 50s a few years ahead of me told me one day
"Man, once I got to 50 that's when things really began to fall apart"
By things he meant his knees, back, eyes. I was slightly alarmed. I hope in your case the things are external and you'll be around for better days.
@samueljohnson Thank you for your kind comment. I can confirm your friend's findings that post-fifty is not like pre-fifty. One has to take a great deal more care with one's health and try to keep active as much as possible whether that be mentally or physically.
