I recoiled in horror when I saw this, but then in thinking about it I realized they would hardly have had grounds. Earthy comments, perhaps, but not grounds. I'm certain you;ll remember this unless some trauma happened which would spark gaps in your memory. Of course there's always the flux of time to take into consideration, but having met you I know that you combat time with some resistance.
I usually read poetry when I'm feeling old. You might try odes to see if they work for you.
Which reminds me of one of my better efforts some years ago. A friend of mine bought an ancient funerary urn while in Athens, and I was able to get his wife to give me the charge slip for it. I framed it for him for his birthday, and he still proudly displays the frame with the title: Owed on a Grecian Urn. True story.

- twenty years ago, it was about 50,000 drachma a day, I believe.

This thread sure has some live parts to it!
I thought I'd be back in a flash but was de-energized and decided to take a journey, man. It was a blast!

kai su is the Greek for et tu. Suetonius gives Julius Caesar's last words as being in Greek: kai su teknon (and/even you (my) son).

Yeah, I figured that out, when I asked you and you replied. My troubles come from your engaging in the pun fest. Hence the rhetorical question.

All seriesness aside, no need for short tempers. Time to hook this thing back up.
