There's a reason for the expression "...Yep. There's a reason for the expression "cigarette face" - and it's true that you can read people's vices in their appearance. <br /><br />There is a reason that a 90+ year-old can actively lead a complex international organization that demands 60+ hours a week of work-time.

Great to read the article about agi...Sensei Wynn,<br /> <br />Great to read the article about aging and respect. <br /><br />Lindsay and I had a friend when we were in Grad School at UIUC that had a boyish face, yet was almost completely bald. Once he took a bunch of boys to scout camp, and was accused of not going to his merit badge activities. Nobody believed he was the scoutmaster until he took his hat off. <br /><br />We appreciate your astute observations, and enjoy reading the grounded perspective. One additional comment: having had a number of friends who didn't follow gospel standards, it is amazing to see how these poor choices are demonstrated in their countenance, external physical features, etc. I find that these changes in appearance don't provide added credibility / respect that they would otherwise merit by living well and aging in the process. It seems that the eye can discern vice,addiction, and general poor decision making.Emily (The Bookish Cook)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01711787418395431371noreply@blogger.com
