So I was shaving this morning...

... looked at myself in the mirror, and saw the beginning of a jowl, a slight sagging of the cheeks.

Then later in the day I saw one of the new 2020 Lincoln Aviators and felt an unnatural attraction. It's pretty nice-looking and it's getting good reviews. Wondering if there's something programmed into our DNA that, starting on your 63rd birthday, you will be drawn to Lincolns and Cadillacs.

Well, not Cadillacs in my case.

X5s be damned; they just ain't 'murrican.

If it was a DNA thing, wouldn't you be suddenly wanting a Jag or something?
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

he's here, he's a Yankee

Hold off on the Aviator; Ford totally bungled the launch.

Bungled the launch? What does that mean and why does it mean one shouldn't look into one?

I'll hold off until the 2023 model refresh comes out. Plus I'll be 65 by then, with even more jowls, so a Lincoln will be even more age-appropriate.
