I'm 63 now and an honest self evaluation reveals some loss of reflexes. I notice that while driving, when I pull up to a busy uncontrolled intersection, one where I don't have right of way, as I wag my head back and forth trying to find an opening it takes a little longer to focus and assimilate what's going on after a wag. I think that's inevitable.

Wes, I'm quite a bit older than you and have experienced what you describe in your example. But I prefer to believe, in part, that by the time we have reached our ages and we have witnessed so many other drivers do so many stupid things that we tend to proceed with a bit more caution than what we would have done at a younger age. Nevertheless, your personality comes through loud and clear in your messages and they reveal that you are cautious, thorough and self-reflective, all really excellent traits every good pilot outta have.
