DEAR ABBY: I was recently trying to decide why my parents and in-laws seemed younger than some of my contemporaries, and then I realized: "You know you're getting older when you spend more time talking about what you did than what you're going to do." -- ROLF BOLSTAD, MINNEAPOLIS
DEAR ROLF: I agree. You're less likely to stumble if you're facing forward, not looking back over your shoulder.
