Hey Steve-
You said, "I hope you didn't find the poem patronizing. "
I just think more humourous, less sentimental would work better.
No problem from me, really. I just think you left out some good opportunities for humor. But then, you need to be of a certain age to know that the old know:
- where the restrooms are in every store
- how almost funny it is to say, "oh shit, I forgot my teeth!"
- our way in the dark, because we can't find that damn light switch
- that yesterday was 'trash day', not today
etc, etc,
The old know that there are way more examples, but I also know that I forget what they are right now.
