I love what you've done with that selfie - it wouldn't look out of place as a high end album cover!
I wonder why people often become so curmudgeonly in their old age. Is it because they watch so many of their loved ones pass before them, or the world changes and grows, seemingly without them? Who knows. Your piece provides a lucid insight into one of those sad souls. Though clearly he's still got a bit of spark left in him :)
I'm forty eight, and I can feel it creeping up on me (the picture probably isn't the only bit of "selfie" in the piece)! Part of it is that things start to hurt more, so your temper gets frayed more easily, I guess, and also you have less time for people's BS. I have a good friend who has just turned 70 and his motto is "Everyone is a bastard, until they prove otherwise" (by the way he doesn't live by that rule! He is a really nice and helpful guy..
The selfie was taken in poor light and then I used the 'femme' setting on prisma to make it look more arty

Looking forward to more of your small tales.

I think your codger needs a name 😀
This sounds so genuine. I love they breed like rats!
To be relatively healthy at that age would be amazing.
