YES, YES, YES; I've been saying this for years. There are few things more annoying (to me, anyway) than old men dispensing 'wisdom' to other old men....as though we haven't been through the same s..t, seen the same things, learned the same lessons. If you still feel compelled to do it, at least confine it to pre-teens and teens and spare us fellow ol' farts. We already have enough other things to annoy us. It's not enough just to read it though, we also need to practice it. Besides, 'wisdom' is totally wasted on ol' folks, 'cause if they haven't learned it by now, they ain't gonna'. JMO.

chas (un-wise and at peace with it)
