Infinite jest. - “I’m in a race with time… and it’s winning.”
Clock’s ticking.
The Perks of Seniorhood

Aging, in all its complexity, can be as funny as it is frightening. These twisted quotes remind us that while we can’t stop the inevitable, we can certainly greet it with a wink and a chuckle.
As they say, laughter is the best medicine — especially when the alternative is developing an unhealthy obsession with anti-aging creams. So here’s to embracing age with open arms and a well-lubricated sense of humor.
