					<description><![CDATA[Oh, you young thing! As I’m sitting here on the verge of 70, which seems really really old, I’ve been watching this stuff happen for a few years now. Getting dismissed from my last job at 63 was the beginning of a slippery slope, which I’m only now learning to just sink into and kick around . Losing your “looks” is one thing, but losing work and status  (or pieces of your memory) is something else.

Anyway, yes, those jokes about old fogeys certainly abound and it is physically and emotionally harder and harder to hold your head up, especially without work. I’m not one for being flamboyant and flaunting it all anymore, but to erase oneself just because nobody else seems to notice is another thing. Not acceptable. We’re still here.

Will look forward to this discussion when you turn 70-and I’m on to 75.And thank you for this article.]]></description>
