Is it crazy for a 76-year-old to be nostalgic for school days? What else might a septuagenarian be ranting about?

Canadian politics? American politics? Personal relationships? Personal health?

Am I an expert on any of the aforementioned topics? I am not. But I have opinions on all of ’em. And columns are opinions, right? Especially if they piss off at least half of the readers … some of whom will send notifications that I’m full of baloney (or worse). And those letters will supply yet another entertaining column.
