    Pretty willing to continue this discussion if you are. It’s strange, I think the older you get, the more particular you are to the irritations that others make, just get to you more. Call it old man syndrome I guess. I’m 50 now. I loved Robin Williams when he was in Mork and Mindy. But as I aged, and he was in more and more things, I really developed a dislike for his style of humor. Props to his creativity, but I just stopped laughing. And then he got annoying. Horribly annoying. So yeah, I guess we all have favorites and I tend to go with the flow with society, but a handful just rub me the wrong way and I can’t help but feel like Homer’s dad that yells at clouds. Guess I need some type of AI audiobook reader where I could change the voice actor at will. That would be cool.

      That would be a cool thing for audiobooks. Though Andy Serkis’ reading of LOTR can’t be beat in my mind.

      And I’m gaining on you, 45, and for me found to be going the other way. I’m more accepting than I have been in the past and am bothered by fewer things.

      I wonder what might cause the different experience between the two of us?

      For example I’ve always been told and often read I would become more conservative as I get older but I’ve found the opposite to be true.

      Shit… Maybe I’m broken…?!
