Was in Jerome, Arizona yesterday with a good buddy. She and I laughed aloud when we saw this jaunty wisdom. There is a certain fierce independence one must keep in life. In geezerhood it comes out even more.
in adolescence this is posture is called insubordinate, disrespectful, incorrigible and the like. so geezers are really adolescent? or adolescents are really wise? or ?
Far be it from ME to answer YOUR questions. I ask you a couple in return - do you have a fierce independence streak or nay? If yea, how do you ride that horse?
I, too, love it. The sentiment of my early post is more accurately expressed thru the words of another: "It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it.
