Some thoughts on the benefits of being older and shallow typed while listening to rainfall

I am enjoying a rare mild evening on my porch on the eve of December, bundled up and listening to the rain. When I was younger, I likely would have felt self conscious about doing this. However, as I age, I just don't care about the imaginary displeasure of people I don't know. Maybe I look weird or unusual, but so what. I am enjoying myself without harming anyone.

Kinda the opposite of what you just said, but I like your messages in any case, and his, too.

Archie, I used to be more shallow, but I am become more serious over time. I am working to restore the balance. :)
