You just brightened my day. I’m looking down the barrel of 7.0 in a couple months. I look forward to becoming more easily agitated, opinionated and judgmental though my current codger game is already strong.
Edited to say it is good to have your example to put against the pilot preacher in John Irving’s A Prayer For Owen Meany. I’ve shared a description from the book in the 32nd entry to this thread on current reading. I never know if a link will take you there directly but it is dated Oct 20. It may give you a chuckle.
