28 is nothing. 28 is actually now the age where a lot of kids are going to college because they were smart enough to wait to figure out what they want to do. Hardly anyone now has the ability to know, at 18, what they want to major in and also have the foresight to know it will get them a job. Couple all these things with the fact that relationships/marriages/kids just aren’t happening for many of us, and our older parents, God Bless them, are who we have in our lives.

“I had one friend whom I’ve known for 15 years who said,

 ‘I’ve always thought of you as a beautiful black lacquered box with a platinum handle from the 1920s, but I never knew there was anything inside the box,’ ” Mr. Ford said. “I was, like, ‘You’ve been my friend, and you did not know there was anything more than the surface?’ ”
