On Being “Too Old”
Not OLD, but "too old". I guess it's somewhat of a handicap, starting a new career in your forties. So when you hit your sixties, you feel like you're just hitting your stride. That has been counteracted lately by the company I work for. I spoke about this a few weeks ago with a co-worker …
In The Presence of a Different Kind of Greatness-LOL Squash

An Open Letter to Columnist Danny Westneat of the Seattle Times
