Maudlin crap? Well, maybe you're right, Robert. That's why I brought it up in my response to TB, in what I felt was a self-deprecating and joking manner. Your response was devastating, particularly that last final word: "seriously".
I have noticed myself slipping into the temptations and cliches of old-fartdom lately, and I have caught myself using my age as an excuse for my reluctance to adapt and engage with the modern world, i.e., my laziness. That reluctance is a psychological trait I've always had, even as a youth, but now seems to be expressing itself increasingly in my behavior. I've always been a dilettante. I would like to think I am recognizing this, and trying to do something constructive about it. Maybe I'm just fooling myself.
That really hurt, Robert. Seriously.
