Like everyone else who makes the mistake of getting older, I begin each day with coffee and obituaries.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The big new development in my life is, when I turned 80, I decided I no longer have to do four pages a day. For me, it's like retiring.
I'm a coffee enthusiast. I try not to have too many bad habits.
Each day, as you get older, there is a new perspective on life. It's a progression of some sort.
I like to read my diary occasionally to remind myself what a miserable, alienated old sod I used to be.
I kept a diary right after I was born. Day 1: Tired from the move. Day 2: Everyone thinks I'm an idiot.
I feel like my career has been a series of glowing obituaries.
I didn't have a cup of coffee until I was 27.
The older I've got the less I find myself going back and re-reading or really reading new fiction or poetry.
I like cups of tea and reading books and poetry and old people things.
I think as I've gotten older, I've learned to look at life and take every day as it comes.
