They make you stay up until 4AM to finish them. WHY AM I STILL AWAKE?!?!?
After I hit 60, I got to the place where I could not go on past a certain point. I can feel it when it comes.
Very frustrating, when I page ahead and see that there are only 4 more pages in the chapter, but I know I can't get there.
Getting old sucks, in many ways, although it is rewarding in many others.
PS - Did you notice that I was able to quote you? Perhaps because it was at the beginning and very short.

“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48
