Whatever Happened to Morris Perlmutter?

I'm growing old and my memory is impaired.

Age is just a number but there's no denying the obvious.

We do decline as we age. But we don't become less important. We don't miraculously become invisible.

And we don't loose our feelings and sensitively.

We also gain so much as we age.

What's the most important thing we gain as we age?

Experience.

Unfortunately, that's the one thing that scares and intimidates younger people the most.

Our most valuable asset isn't valued enough.

What's this got to do with Quincy?

Everything.

This episode does go off story but it makes so many important points about the aging process.

It's probably the finest episode of Quincy. It brought a tear to my eye.

I'll close with two of my favourite quotes.

"The only people that grow old were born old to begin with."

"Age is just a limit we impose on ourselves. Each time you celebrate a birthday you build another fence around your minds."
