I just took it for granted that everyone experienced life a lot like

looked like they had one foot in the grave? How 60 year old people
looked as if they were preserved in formaldehyde? And, were just
about as interesting to chat with as window drapes?

somethings have to say is interesting. I suppose that when you get to
be 60+ you will of course be absolutely enchanting.
