There's been lots of talk about recognising oneself in pieces of work and now it's happened to me, but I wouldn't have flagged it up if it wasn't well written too. Spot-on observation about that "certain age" dilemma - don't want to be the oldest swinger in town but not quite ready for the pipes and slippers - funny and painful at the same time, I squirmed as i read it.
It's the first piece by this writer, and it's got a "part 1" after it, so I hope for more...

I also liked how this ended. It's true how our perspective can change when we focus on what's really important. It's also true that we sometimes don't take the time to see the beauty right in front of us, and how when we do, it can help make sense of the senseless.

Really appreciate the comments. I've been wanting to write for a while now but other forces, mainly work and laziness, have hindered me thus far. I actually wrote this as soon as I got in from last Saturday when I was out so everything was fresh in my mind.
