I thought, why am I so happy?
I thought, because I've lived 70 years.
All the rest is going to be gravy.
Now, we have no idea what the gravy will look like, but I just felt all of a sudden so lucky to have actually lived for 70 years.
But it is interesting because I am older and I see people looking at me as though I'm older because I am.
And that's an interesting, that's just interesting.
Because I realize, wow, now I'm that person.
It's happened.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're either very, you know, nice the way you are to old people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or they just ignore me, which is the other thing we do with old people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just so interesting.
No, it's just, I mean, because I understand.
I understand that I have now become an older person and this is what has happened to older people.
And I've always known that.
But now that I'm one of them, it's very... Do you feel like one of them?
