Time Out

I just discovered that my Dad has a Myspace profile. It's a crazy world. When I clicked on it there was a picture of Pops right there. He looked OLD! (sorry dad, if you're reading this) I should add that I haven't seen him in quite some time, as we live many states apart. It occurred to me that it's not Time that ages people, but separation. The thirty years that I lived near my Dad I can't say that I saw him age at all. My wife? I think maybe she's getting younger! When you see some one every day it's hard to notice the little signs that life is gaining on us. Slowly, but surely. It's mildly depressing. It did give me an idea though. Keep the people you care about near you. See them often. You will hardly notice as age begins to show on their faces. Added bonus, you won't look old to them. The corollary, see people you don't like as rarely as possible. Then you can make fun of how Worn out they look. I'm not sure that this is the actual cure for aging, but it does seem like pretty good life advice anyway.
