31 here there is no age limit, just a state of mind I went to a public
auction were I met an older couple, they seemed happy and ****ny, I struck
up
a convo about this massage table they bought, and we just kept talking
about
every thing, from food to politics, and before they left me he turned and
said, "never stop playing, play like you did when you were young, it will
keep you sharp, have fun and never quite, it will keep you alive" I
responded and he went on to say "I beat these kids at basketball and
football they cant keep up with me, because I never stopped, it will keep
you" I went home and spoke to my parents about this and they agreed, look
at
the older people you know, the ones you know with life, tend to have the
young around them, and the grumpy are along, so to thing anything is for a
certain stage of life is to throw in the towel too soon, Terrance McKenna
and Aldus Huxley are better examples to me the latter still alive and over
100 and sharp, he has not given up on Entheogens, and I'm sure he'll out
last us all.
