[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1044480, member: 18006"] I've often noticed that being really good at something frequently puts you in a position where luck has a better chance to get you the rest of the way home. I'm surprised; I wouldn't picture you as anything close to frail. I've learned a lot of things as I've piled up the birthdays, and one of the things I've learned is that the longer you live the more shortcuts and dirty tricks you learn. And the harder it becomes for someone half your age to outsmart you with some obscure treachery or another, or take you by surprise with something they just thought of but already happened to you the first time back during the Carter Presidency. At 66 (67 on Friday), I may not pack the same punch I did 30 or even 20 years ago, but I shouldn't need to as often either.... because I've used some of that time to read Sun Tzu. Maybe I'll feel differently in 5 or 10 years (or a couple more covids), but for now, I see our generation as experienced, rather than frail. It's like the two bulls standing on top of the hill; a young one, and an old one. The young one looks down at the herd of cows grazing in the valley, and says to the old bull, "Hey - let's run down there and *** a couple of those cows!" The old bull says, "No... we're going to [I]walk [/I]down there, and *** every one of them." I've heard of Coldplay obviously, but didn't know anything about them. Always under my radar, but these lyrics were incredible. so i went to Youtube and listened. Thanks. It's still not something I'd go out of my way to listen to, because that style of music doesn't really do anything for me, but the lyrics? Wow. I can certainly see why they have such a rabid fan base. That's damned good songwriting. Thanks for posting that. [/QUOTE]
