I've also noticed that the younger you are, the less patience you have for discussions of death. It's an abstraction until you hit your mid '30s.

And to be honest ? I'd prefer it remain that way, as evinced by questions that essentially sum up into "why are you all choosing to be sad, geez"

Right. Alan Rickman and David Bowie are the same age as my father and my father-in-law, neither of whom I consider to be an old man. It's difficult not to consider that they probably don't have a ton of good years left.

My dad is 75 day after tomorrow. If he were David Bowie he'da died in 2010.
