34. Hey, buster! I'm almost 68!

But yeah, I agree that we need generational turnover. I'm proud of some things that my generation accomplished, but the job's by no means done. And some of us never were any help, so even though I'll be exiting with them, that's okay. But I refuse to precede them! And I'll always delight in reminding those who follow not to waste time trying to reinvent the wheel, at least not from scratch. That's why I'm so big on history. Can't ever know enough about that.

Anyway, I think we'll be leaving the world in safe enough hands.
