Nothing Has Made Me Feel Older Than My Relationship With Passwords...
There are many ways a person comes to terms with aging. Some notice it in the mirror. Others feel it in their knees and back while exiting a chair, a car, a bed, etc. A few brave souls acknowledge it when music from their youth starts playing in grocery stores.
