Amen, brother. At 55 I can say definitively that I'm every bit as sharp
as I was at 54 and a half. And also ... um, I forget exactly what it
was I was going to say next but I'm sure it was relevant. Have you seen
my bifocals?
Personally, I think Graham must be living in Soviet Rusia beacause over
here it's the other way around - the more you learn new languages, the
younger you get.
