A Stroke of Genius

 

If there is a certain wisdom associated

with old age, it is in the knowing that you

are all of what you have grown to be.

And there’s not a damned thing you can

do about it.

I have come to have a great deal of gratitude

for making it to the bathroom in time. And I’m

allowed to swear like hell when I don’t.

It is also satisfying to know you remembered

to put an extra roll of toilet paper where it

could easily be reached when you need it.

Therein lies a stroke of genius. Damn, you’ve

still got it!
