is that you know you'll grow out of it."

Expiration Dates
Do you ever wonder whether really old people think about how they'll never need to buy another this or that. Like they're going on vacation or something. When you're 86 how long does something have to last. (Now you know why I couldn't sleep last night.)
"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these." -Susan B. Anthony
