When I think back on life and look for lessons one that always stands out is that life is a series of subtractions – all the great people and places and events that came to you early on are seemingly subtracted year by year as you get older. The great old TV shows, the way people treated each other, the innocence of times past and most importantly the people who had such a great effect on your life… all slowsly fade….into shades of the past.
