"To get back to my youth I would do anything in the world, except exercise, get up early, or be respectable." - Oscar Wilde

"At age 20, we worry about what others think of us... at age 40, we don't care what they think of us... at age 60, we discover they haven't been thinking of us at all." - Ann Landers

"I have reached an age when, if someone tells me to wear socks, I don't have to." - Albert Einstein

"When I was young, I was called a rugged individualist. When I was in my fifties, I was considered eccentric. Here I am doing and saying the same things I did then, and I'm labeled senile." - George Burns

The Christmas family portrait was a beloved tradition for the Snaiths.

Of all the days for Rudolph to wake up with Covid . . .

Rawson should have taught his pets to heel, sit, and stay.

In a break with family tradition, Richmond refused to go into banking.

With his pals in hibernation and his ski patrol application still in limbo, Jumbo had nothing but time . . .
