Sitting in the Hall of Fame and the world's gonna know your name.

Yesterday I took my roommate's 88-year-old aunt to the pharmacy to pick up her medication. Before dropping her off in front of her house, she left me with some sage advice.

"Don't get old," she said.

"I don't think I can avoid it," I returned. I don't think anyone can avoid that. Age comes for all of us.

Then I thought, perhaps what she really meant was, never let go of your childlike innocence and lust for adventure. As long as you hold on to those things, you'll never get old. So I promise, Aunt Dodo, I'll never get old.
