21

#4
Twenty-one times I flip a switch to turn on or off a light, plug in or unplug a cord at a socket, push  a button or touch to engage something as I begin another day.  21 times often as I groan to bend over. 21 - would it not be nice to regress to 21?  Would you?  You've aged into a sage when you realize that no young person of 21 listens to an adult.  Right?  A second criteria for senior status (minus any onset of dementia) is knowing that news is not news, but rather exaggeration, hyperbole, misrepresentation, withholding of information, agenda driven or politically motivated presentation and predictable lies.

Try it.  Try to hear a commercial's wording, a news report or a nanny warning in spite of voices that grate on your soul and speak so breathlessly fast as to not be understood.  The false medium is the worthless message.  So why awake to the prospect of 21 off's and on's before 1.  coffee, 2.  breakfast and 3. the news?  2  winners out of 3 candidates is not bad if you know the loser is the news.  Also, you're now old enough to ignore any 21 year old's antics.  How many kids or grand kids qualify in your world?
