Ever since I hit mid-forties a while back and realised that chances are 'the road ahead is shorter than the road behind', I honestly don't remember ever feeling truly bored. Even while doing tedious stuff like waiting for a bus or in a waiting room, I'll find something to occupy my mind; reading, doing a crossword, doodling, or just watching the world go by. When I was a youngster, on the other hand, I was quite capable of complaining; "I'm bored!" even when surrounded by all my toys, books and the television and with the sun beaming in the sky. I think boredom is a luxury of youth.
