If my 18 year old met me now, he’d say, “Holy crap, you look like you lost a fight with the Tasmanian Devil! Must’ve been a helluva life and you rock that beard!! Shame about the hair.” Wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Avid reader; great imagination; considerate; a sweetheart. Presidential material if I ever seen it. I’d vote for her. She’ll beat The Dump by a landslide.
Following your Bliss is so important, more important than money and fame. Following your bliss is happiness. Thank you to Joseph Campbell for that! Thank you to you for your sharing again ;-)
As a child I followed my bliss, it should have killed me on at least 3 different occasions, later my bliss was an astonishingly beautiful lady who I married and had wonderful daughter with.

I guess it’s good to know you’re going to get old enough to be a crone.

Just a figure of speech, like when your doctor greets you with “How are WE today?”.
Just kidding. It’s her….somehow. “They whistle the same tune.” ;-)

Kate’s smile and the last panel – perfect ending-for-now.

Honestly, I think the old adage Do what you love and the money will follow can’t apply for most people.

Reminiscent of Heinlein’s “By His Bootstraps,” one of my favorite short stories.

The news in recent weeks has begun to sound more like a lead-up to blues music. This was a very enjoyable riff.

Good enough that I went back to Monday and re-read the whole thing.

A sufficiently advanced “croning” technology would be indistinguishable from real life.

When I was younger, I met my future self. He advised buying stock in apples.

Must be amazing to know what you are going to look like when you age. Don’t want to know about the aches and pain though.

Kind of hard to follow your bliss if you don’t know what it is…
