Stop it guys. I'm about 10 months away from officially entering dotage myself and I'm trying to block out all pessimistic thoughts :)I really like Kramer's response to a heckling ball-boy:
Boy: Hey pops, isn't there a better way to spend your twilight years.
Kramer: I may be old, but I'm spry.

I would like to welcome you officialy into dotage when it arrives. I can tell you that a lot of your innards stop working properly IMMEDIATELY. You must quit working and only do what you want to do at the time because time becomes more important but at the same time less important. Forget about your neighbors because they are useless slugs. That's just a few little things to start thinking about. When the time comes I will be there to console you.
getting close myself, at 59. I'm working on developing an appropriate degree of apathy regarding the things I can't remember, things that take me twice as long to do, things I just consider too much of pita to do. Am I on the right track?
You certainly are but remember to not go too gently into the night. Develop an attitude of "the wise old guy" so you will be respected and loved for your ineptitude. Be patient with yourself but show some impatience for others. Eccentricity, even feigned is lovable to the younger set. Heed my advice and you will probably get smacked by someone.
