When I get accused of being 'middle age crazy', I always say.
"It's has nothing to do with my age, I've always wanted a car like this. Now
I can finally afford it!"
My first love was a 1961 BRG TR3-A that my older brother owned when I was in
my early teens, a long, long, long time ago.

As I get older I spend more and more time thinking about the here-after. I go
someplace to get something and I think... What am I here-after?

I was sent this. Any comments?
How about 'It takes a certain maturity to fully appreciate them' ?
