My parents were ignorant peasants from the Old World.

I like parents, old-school, old-world parents. So real. Just think of all they've seen in their lives. They were born in another world and now they can watch it on Google maps. So much change for a single soul to see.

It's a funny old world.

My challenge is to convince Ontarians that the old world is not coming back.

A comfortable old age is the reward of a well-spent youth. Instead of its bringing sad and melancholy prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of eternal youth in a better world.

Most of the birds of the Old World can be found here, as Oman is on a strategic route for migrating birds.
