How to grow old
Today we are going to be looking at growing old, and how to avoid doing it with dignity.People often ask me how I get away with behaving so immaturely at my age. Well the answer is simple; I refuse to compromise. Sometimes the temptation to conform to accepted standards can be very hard to resist, but we have to overcome our reluctance to cross that threshold. As with most skills, practice is the key.
The next time you are walking through a park and get an urge to climb a tree, don’t let your inhibitions win. First, make sure there are people around to witness it. If not, wait until there are, and then just do it; climb the tree. Try to choose a tree that offers some possibility of being climbed, as falling to the ground in front of an audience without suffering sever embarrassment is beyond the scope of the beginner.
There it is; as simple as that. Just practice climbing trees in public places until it becomes second nature not to give a thought to what onlookers might be thinking of you. And remember; your objective is not to become good at climbing trees, but simply not to mind being seen doing it.
Next week we will be discussing ways to assess how likely someone you might want to insult is able to run faster than you can, and the strategies that can be employed to slow them down. Don’t miss it, this is something you will need to know.

I live in a very ancient village with cobbled steeply inclined streets ... my crazy doesn't stretch that far ... not even on a full moon
I'll jump off when I want to.
But I no longer owned a bicycle when I moved to this ancient cobbled street village!
On the up side it means I really do hope to get a new boyfriend
Step One.... Wait
Step Two.... Wait some more.
Step Three. Go back to Step One.
