As we ponder whether certain politicians should get out of the game, I think about whether the same considerations, or versions of these, apply to us hobbyists.
I just turned 73, and haven't been to more than a couple of places in the last year. There are several reasons.
- The simplest reason: the equipment doesn't work so well any more. Even with Vitamin V.
- The old B.B.King line comes to mind" "The Thrill is Gone." I've pretty much done everying available in strip clubs. What was fresh and arousing 20 years ago is now ho-hum.
- My old haunt, Baltimore's Block, would now best be bulldozed away. It was once great for entertainment value of the kind most of us seek out. Now, it takes major desparation to go there.
Curious to hear other thoughts.....
