I have a pair of earphones. They cover my ears. They operate on batteries and blue-tooth. They are manufactured in China. My mobile brings down music form the internet and deliver it to the phones. I dress in them comfortably as long as I stay at home.
In a few minutes I should go outside to help my wife bringing stuff home from her gallery. Should I continue wearing these phones downtown? Do I dare to introduce myself into this huge crowd of youngsters? All demonstrating their individuality in the same fashion? After all, I am not young any more. This coming summer I will celebrate 77.
On the other side and at my age I do not need to bother.

Hi Goren: My answer to your question lies in the first stanza of this poem by Jenny Joseph
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I’m tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people’s gardens
And learn to spit.
p.s. I will be 80 this summer, much love, Dr. Bob

Wooooooow! Tiurning 77 years yesssss! While I have a gazillion years to get there, I also like the fact that you have lovely earphones with blue tooth. I have some(without the blue tooth) that I use at home and also at work whenever the need arises. At times I just want to block the whole world and just listen to music or preaching or clean humour. This summer I shall be turning 36 and I honestly never care about fashion or these sort of things that are so important to young people. I guess I am wired differently.
