Guess I’m on a roll with the Tata sketches. Nice to do one in person. I’m not saying Tata’s old, but his first tablet came with a chisel! I’m here all week.

This week, my family was treated to a photo of Tata drawing. Leave it to Ariana to bring out his creative side! This got me to thinking about how we pigeonhole people based on age. My whole family, myself included, tends to gape in awe at my 102-year old grandfather. Becoming a centenarian, of course, is relatively uncommon, and something to be proud of. And yet, ripe old age is not something bestowed upon you like a knighthood.

Al Jolson in “The Jazz Singer.” Watching it again after reading a great book called “The Speed of Sound” about the advent of talking pictures.
