And self-agrandization...

For several decades until your memory starts to fail. Oh sure, when you're 
in your 30's and you can hold 20,000 lines of code in your head, and you 
don't need to sleep, you walk on water. Then the galoshes start to leak.

Eventually you're up to your knees, then everything below the waist gets 
soggy, and after a couple more decades, when 5000 lines is an effort and 
your idea of having a fun weekend is cracking a DOS 3.3 copy protection 
scheme that was used in 1982 and then you come-up for air to pour another 
brandy, and your wife points-out that Spring is here and the patio needs to 
be spray washed...

Well, you've heard the term all washed-up:) And just when you feel like 
you're going down for the third, or final time...

Supper's ready, or so I'm told... gotta take off the galoshes and do what 
passes for running these days, and maybe I can sneak some time tomorrow 
before work to install FreeDOS on VirtualBOX and yet another Apple II Aztec 
C Compiler from 1982  that's almost ready for prime-time in Windows 7 and 
anywhere else that VirtualBOX can run.
