♫ Now I'm 64 ♫♪

1967.  The Beatles release a song that will haunt me for the next 46 years!

It was written by Paul when he was sixteen, recorded in 1966 when I was sixteen and released in 1967, the year I graduated from high school.

Every time I heard it, and it came up more often than you might think, I wondered if the love of my life would still find me lovable when I was 64.

What I didn't understand during most of those years is that growing older leaves room for love to expand.  

What seemed like an exclusive little pond in the beginning becomes an ocean over time.

I guess that's the difference between 16 and 64.
