A "Wiser Together" contribution from guest blogger Tom Beech:
A little while ago, I received an email that caught me up short. It was from a young, 20’s-something, friend of mine. He and I are working on a project together and he sent me a copy of a note he had written to another friend of his, a young guy he wanted me to meet. In this email he said, “I’d like you to meet an elderly man I know.....”
OK. Well, first let’s get some facts on the table. I’m 74 years old, in pretty good mental and physical health, retired from a long career but still active in my community. I can string several strands of thought together and keep track of most of them without losing my way or boring others. “Elderly,” is not a word I’d use to describe myself.
