The Chairman turned 50 a few days ago.
This is a disturbing reminder of my own mortality - the sudden physical deterioration of incipient middle age paving the way towards senility and death. I feel this depressing milestone should not have been passed yet. I hadn't thought he was that much older than me. Worse, he's not that much older than me.
I rather doubt that I shall be looking as spry as he does when I reach the half century. Indeed, the way things have been going lately, I'm none too confident of making it that far at all.
I urged His Chairmanliness to keep his head, not play any loose shots; to dig in for the ton. I rather think he might have it in him.
