Dispatches from the sunburned wastelands

There are many things about his life that I don't understand. Getting older, for instance. The elderly is is supposed to be wise and full of grace. The older I get, however, the more bewildered I seem to become. The self-assured twenty something i once was has long been gone, and every day I feel less and less secure. I am puzzled by life's meaning or purpose. Now that I have procreate and sired a child, does this mean my evolutionary role is done? Should I now lie down and die, satisfied that my life's purpose has been fulfilled? Strange thoughts. And no, I haven't been reading any self-help books lately, so I don't know where all this comes from...
