Subject: I have to do a reread of the secondary stories! Betsy, I have a theory of aging I call the moist theory. When we are infants and young children, we're very moist/wet. Moisture oozes out of us, we're flexible, learn and remember, good eyesight and hearing. As we age, we start to dry out. In middle age we start slathering on lotion, but can still do the odd cartwheel. Our eyesight starts to go, along with our balance. The older we get, the drier we get, until our skin becomes flaky, our eyesight is bad, our joints are stiff....but in our minds we are still that moist youngster who could do everything easily. I'm also 70 and beginning to be "flaky"....
