MOURNING THE PLAIN DEALER AS WE'VE KNOWN IT...

Years ago when I was young, an elder woman cautioned me, "Life is change. And when you find yourself harping about changes, you'll know you're old."
 
I recognized her wisdom and remembered it. In fact, I often quoted it.
 
Now, days before my 73rd birthday, today is the last day for standard delivery of the Plain Dealer newspaper I've been receiving daily for close to half a century.
 
I'm very sad about the change; in fact, I'm harping about it...
 
Uh-Oh... Am I finally old?

If so, why am I not FEELING old? Only sad.
