As you get older, you get crabbier and you don't have as much energy. Imagine what kind of asshole I'm going to be in 50's?

Actually, though, I've found that as I age my crabbiness gets more intense on some things (e.g., my job; higher ed in general; historical ignorance), but much less on others: politics in general, for example; the lack of female companionship or much of a social life; the lack of material wealth. Even my "OL OL OL" complaints have been relegated mostly to March and April.
Of course mine may be a function of strengthening faith. The more I realize that it is the next life with God that matters, the less I seem to be crabby about the way we have effed up this one.
Sorry, I know we're supposed to keep God to Random Babble/Back Alley, but .... actually, I'm not sorry. See Deuteronomy 6:5; Matthew 22:37; Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
