Going back to 17 doesn’t mean total freedom. I choose to follow some basic rules:

• I will treat my body as if it were 58.
• I will continue to fulfill the responsibilities of a 58-year-old husband and grandfather.
• I will not use my new age as an excuse for saying or doing anything bad.
• I will not be surprised or embittered when bad things from the real world invade this fantasy.

Haven’t decided yet whether I will get a year older every year or just stay 17 permanently. What do you think?
