Stephen,
Just a few things for you to ponder.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE GETTING OLD WHEN ...
All of your favorite movies are now re-released in color.
At cafeterias, you complain that the gelatin is too tough.
Conversations with people your own age often turn into "dueling ailments."
Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work.
In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.
It takes a couple of tries to get over a speed bump.
It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.
It takes twice as long to look half as good.
Many of your co-workers were born the same year that you got your last promotion.
No one expects you to run into a burning building.
People call at 9 p.m. and ask, "Did I wake you?"
People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
The clothes you've put away until they come back in style... come back in style.
The little gray-haired lady you help across the street is your wife.
The pharmacist has become you new best friend.
There's nothing left to learn the hard way.
Things you buy now won't wear out.
When getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.
When happy hour is a nap.
When you are cautioned to slow down by your doctor instead of the police.
When you realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise.
You and your teeth don't sleep together.
You begin every other sentence with, "Nowadays..."
Have a good one!
Barrett
