what if it's all one Adam?

Well, the meteors will peak tonight, but I am already peaking on extra food in my stomach: just came back from King's Buffet on 86th Street.  It turns out on Wednesdays All-you-can-eat menu costs cheaper.  I am still filled with food and have to flush it with espresso.  The fortune cookie given to me on exit reads:
"To be eighty years young is more cheerful and hopeful than forty years old".  I don't know what it means...is that a "bad" fortune or...what? I don't grow any younger... Is that a warning of hardships to come?
