There was a time in my life when reading sci-fi or fantasy, I could imagine myself as the hero. You know you are getting old when you are too old to be the hero. This line of thought started when I saw a psot by David Brin, author of The Postman. I read that when I was younger; I was sad for the only use the bad guys had for the older women was as child care. Today I am reading a book that made me think of wandering through a magical doorway, and realized I couldn't help the wizard anymore.

I think I might need to eat again, or maybe just sit down with a nice cup of tea in my rocking chair.
