Approaching death, with convenient parking As the old year winds down and the new one begins, I think back over the seasonal ritual that does the most to remind me of my own frail and limited mortal shell. Shopping at the mall. Not the act of shopping itself, of course. I consider that exercise, with benefits. No, I mean the experience of going to the mall and encountering the packs of roaming teenagers who seem to live there -- possibly becoming feral -- who look at me the same way they would regard a water buffalo who wandered into Spencer Gifts.
