Here I am in my later (almost latest) fifties and I sit and stew for two minutes about whether to leave that pussy under my name. Maybe I should just leave it at puss. Maybe I should get rid of it entirely. Talk about silly. I decided to leave it, but this note is still (clearly) part of my second-guessing. When do we grow up?
