In today's excerpt - Woody Allen offers a sober comment on aging as he approaches his 70th birthday:
" 'Aging is a terrible thing,' he says, dourly. 'The diminution of options and opportunities. It's all just bad news. You deteriorate physically and die! I was an extremely good athlete as a child. I can't maintain that. I mean, my eyesight's not anywhere near as good. I've lost some of my hearing. All the crap that they tell you about—you know, dandling your grandchildren on your knee, and getting joy, and having a kind of wisdom in your golden years—it's all tripe. I've gained no wisdom, no insight, no mellowing. I would make all the same mistakes again today.' "
