Oh yes, I was. Purveyor of fine poetry, you had to be. The point about ageing must be addressed now. And I will.

The hero has aged, but is the hero still.

Let no young upstart forget that, even though the young upstart often forgets things. That hedgehog knows one big thing, but this fox knows many things.  

Older, and wiser, and still strong in body and in mind. Its the combination that sets him up for the next adventure. And what an adventure it is. Glorious. Glorious.

So, below I present to you a quick check. A pit stop, if you will. For you have such an exciting journey ahead.
