When you're a fledgling youth-type adult, it appears that all people in their 40s look old enough to be in a painting hanging on the wall of a stately home in England.

leadership sports football
Until Sammy Baugh - pro football in Texas was a one-paragraph story on the third page of the Monday sports section.
song writing talking
Lonnie says it doesn't take long to write a song if you're stricken with a severe case of the Tennysons. He wasn't necessarily talking about a chart-climber.
