Age is
the accumulation of tiny worries until your brain is full.
Indications are our brains are FIFO, so the old stale worries stay around and the new ones are overwritten. Seems like a poor design.

If the latter is true, then the former should be first in last out.

I may be bumping up against the number of writes to my NVRAM. Too much sunlight got through the cover and erased some EPROM. A neutrino flipped a bit. Or maybe a latent defect.
Oh, I know, it was a glitch.

Age is ... individual. In exactly one month I will be 63. I don't have to take any pills that aren't supplements that I want to take. My memory is just fine, my hearing is superb, and I am still making gains at the gym. So I really hope the world doesn't go to ___ when my life is finally turning a corner and the future looks bright for the first time in decades. Know what the best kept ant-aging secret is? You're not gonna like the answer ...

Age is a metric. If you choose to accept "time" as a reality. Now ask yourself this: Could time exist without change?

That's not how my brain works.
For example, I used to worry about dying young, and now I don't.

'Is the 2708 really so great?'
edit : That's 8000 bits of info. Not Megabits or MegaBytes.

I had a professor who explained EPROMs as like being able to reverse the loss of virginity. The only female engineer in the whole school was a buddy, she turns to me and says, "Did he just say THAT?"

My colleagues would come out of their offices to watch me; they thought I was insane.
* For some reason, they insisted the version in source was always 0.0, and we hex-edited the .hex file after compile. Seemed silly. Eventually I wrote some code to do that post-compile.
Good times. Now I go to frickin' meetings all day.
