What I'm going to do when I reach that age (you know, 44, "honestly"), is invest in a series of silicone rubber masks that I can glue to my aging face, like dentures, only different. Not only will this mask prop up my sagging neck and flacid jawline, it will also assist me greatly in my future career as a bank robber. I can see the headlines now - 44-YEAR-OLD ASIAN STRIKES DOWNTOWN BANK ... 44-YEAR-OLD CAUCAUSIAN WITH BLUE EYEBROWS STRIKES DOWNTOWN BANK ... 44-YEAR-OLD AFRICAN AMERICAN WITH MITTENS AND RED HAIR STRIKES DOWNTOWN BANK. Plus, I'll be a chick magnet supreme. Course I won't be able to feel it if any of them kiss me, but by the time I'm that far gone I won't care anymore. Botox is far too expensive.

Accepting the course of one's life should be a "value" that is taught in society instead of the continual search for the fountain of youth. Japan and China honor their old instead of ridiculing them.

Markowitz had breathed too much smog while waiting for a spark of creativity. If he'd posted your picture, Jeff, you might have gotten more suggestions that you need some more bagels and cream cheese. Maybe M.
