AUDIOBOOKS
I must draw attention, once again, to the high quality of my audiobooks. They are professionally narrated by the classically-trained British actor, Simon de Deney. He brings the books to life, so they sound like a Shakespearean epic but with a lot more action.

"Tempus edax rerum"
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil.
Death closes all; but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
—Alfred, Lord Tennyson, "Ulysses" (1842)
Image: Not all *that* long ago, I was 59 or 60 here.
