to run into people who have been around the block more times than me!

An 85-yr-old friend of mine died recently. She was one person I liked to ask advice of - not just bec. she's older, but also bec. she was a smart and capable person.
Now there's no one I'll ask advice of. My 93-yr-old father is smart too--but since we have that father-daughter thing going on - I don't like to ask him for advice.
