(The day was very warm — over 90 degrees — when I left for 330 this noon. Jane was better today, and 330 wasn’t bad at all, with the air conditioner going, the fan on, and the windows wide open. I’d brought shorts with me and changed into them; I already had sandals there. The weather had a luxurious, lush feel, as though our globe had finally turned from an adversary into a nurturing, supportive parent. I worked on mail after helping Jane eat lunch, until she said she was ready for a session. I told my wife that I had indeed lost the tooth.)

Faced with that kind of a projected future, no wonder many adolescents prefer to die before catching sight of the very first hint of deterioration — the first wrinkle or touch of gray in the hair. What forerunners of disaster such natural signs must seem (exclamation point)! And at the other end of the scale, older parents are treated by their grown children as if they themselves were falling into a grotesque version of a second childhood. Many people actually speak louder to older persons, whether or not they have any hearing difficulties at all.
