The author has for 50 plus years balanced sharing individual growth, and change, with pointing out American social and political impotence. Laughing at the latter, and smiling at the former.
Zooming with #1 grandson last spring (we did his daily reading assignment that way while his dad taught via Zoom); he had an app that would take a pic & add ±40 years. We talked to him in middle age for a while, then he showed us Dad pushing 80.

Mike, you don’t have to worry about that; none of them consider you that sharp.

People wonder why I don’t have kids. I’m glad Dad is content with grandcats.

So who are all these kids? Alex had twins a while back. Is the taller kid Alex’s husband?

My favorite was “Sharp as a marble.”. I heard that a lot. Maybe not so “favorite” now that I think about it.

As I always tell my oldest grandson, no matter how old he gets, I’ll still be a half-century ahead of him! ( He just turned 27 ).
