my goals for old age

[totient]

For some time I have maintained that when I am 80 years old I will do nothing but cackle. And inspired by Jenny Joseph I have begun to practice taking delight in things. But the other day in a pizzeria in Watertown I realized that there is something I will take delight in when I am 80 years old, which I cannot practice now, and that is calling cops "Sonny".

I can kind of picture you cackling away on your porch in a rocking chair... I love that poem... thank you for making me think of it.
