Good Morning Kossacks and Welcome to Morning Open Thread (MOT)
We're known as the MOTley Crew and you can find us here every morning at 0330 am Eastern time. Feel free to volunteer to take a day - permanently or just once in awhile. With the Auto Publish feature you can set it and forget it. Sometimes the diarist du jour shows up much later: that's the beauty of Open Thread...it carries on without you! Volunteer in the comment threads

As the sands in my annual eggtimer drain out for my 60th year, I start to reflect on the meaning of life. So much more behind than in front. But to quote Brian, "Always look on the bright side". Soon I will qualify for discounted rail and bus tickets (presumably because at 60 I will be too old to drive safely), and Denny's have already been offering me a discount for five years. Or I can go on a Saga holiday, to spend my time with lots more old wrinklies.
When will people start offering me their seat on the subway. And , Damn, where did I leave my reading glasses?
So here is what my youth was like.
And for a slightly more irreverent take on the problem - the irreplaceable Dave Allen
