amen to al that
i'd like to think i have long felt that
it seems to me that i have always liked to spend time with people older
than myself - that may become more difficult at time passes
i may be wrong
it may be an oddity
i think many physically young people may not see things that way - and
still be of worth
so it wouldnt hurt to have genuinely young here, whatever we mean by
genuinely young
but not at any cost
not at the cost of getting down with the young - it would just be ridiculous
