I'm definitely not looking forward to physical degeneration (& I'm doing what I can to stave that off for as long as possible).
But I do kinda look forward to some parts of being old. I'd sure like to be retired, for one thing. I'd also like to reach a point in my life where I can tell everyone what to do with the expectations they have for me.

Dude, I thought that was last month. ;-)
I'll grant, retirement does sound nice, sitting around, not working, free to go off and do what you want with minimal obligation. Although with six weeks paid vacation, I do get a decent amount of that sort of thing. And it is tasty.
This reminds me. Maybe I should make a will, mostly because I want to use the phrase "When I die, you can eat my brain, and it will give you Power."
