21 " Normally, I have a rinse to take the yellow out of my gray hair. Gray hair doesn’t scare me. Neither do flabby muscles, or liver spots, or strange little wart-like bumps. All of which are cropping up here and there on my body like clumps of weeds. I’m slowly losing my hearing, my eyesight, and yesterday I noticed I’m losing my eyelashes. I’ve stopped being afraid of age since it doesn’t do any good anyway. You can’t stop the march of time and the sooner you accept it, the sooner you can focus on the important things in life. "

23 " There are so many good books waiting to be read, I’ll never go back and read one twice. "
24 " Small talk is an art in the Michigan U.P., since most things that happen here are small. Long silences are okay, too. Most of what’s said will be said again tomorrow. The weather, gardening, and the no-good federal government are all good topics, interspersed with pauses and throat clearings. It’s our way of life. "
