jfred, I don't know whether it's age, but I find entropy aka mess aka chaos is an increasing issue for me. When younger, very busy, with 4 children, full time job and a lot to do, everything was buttoned down and highly orderly. Now, in early dotage, there are stacks of entropy burgeoning like a black hole with an event horizon threatening to gobble everything in my realm. I know that when finally committed to a senile dementia establishment, my executors will have no problem throwing out 1950s valve radios currently waiting for repair in my shed, and valuable records from the 1970s, and artifacts from the 1980s, not to mention mounds of "bound to be useful" things which have got archeological layers of dust [like sedimentary layers for stratigraphy] on which carbon dating could be done to find when they were deposited. That's obviously the process of the cosmos. Entropy increases until complete, with one final particle of orderliness circling a cosmic scale event horizon in which all else has been subsumed. When the last remaining particle of conscious existence finally gives in and lets itself fall into the event horizon, the cosmos forms another Big Bang throwing out of all that went before and is reborn. I don't buy the "ever-expanding cosmos" inflationary theory any more than I do the ever-expanding state-run fiat currency theory. Both implode when they have done their dash. Mqurice
