Well, this is depressing (XPAC edition).

Not that it’s happening; and not even that Hannah Giles’s blanket invitation of all under-30 conservatives doesn’t actually apply to me (40 in a couple of months). It’s that I had forgotten for a moment that I’m well over the age of 29. It’s like how Houdini died: punch him when he expected it and he could shrug it off, but a blow out of nowhere, well…

OK, so that’s not really like how Houdini died. And damned if I’d know what to do with myself if I was that age again anyway. Aside from getting an early start at quitting smoking, I guess.
