Column: Getting old is hard to do

Getting old is not fun. I have made 61 and a half trips around the sun. That half portion used to only be important when you were a kid. “I’m five and a half,” I would say. Kids still do that. I remember when my parents reached my age, they used to get the newspaper and would turn to the obituaries. I have lost four childhood friends in the past year to sickness and suicide. That kind of thing makes you feel really old.
