It isn't age, it is a proven fact that door frames create a Gaussian loop that erases very short term memory.

Mrs. Kurr and we had spinach stuffed chicken, cranberries and sweet potato fries. Peach yogurt for dessert.

For lunch today I had. Wait, let me go look at the trash. ;)

I finished cleaning & prepping for a party and decided to have just one beer before people show up. Then, as the very first guests arrive (friends of friends I didn't know) watched me get up and trip over a stepping stone. They all came running and said "Sir, are you OK").

I'm WAY older than Archie. Didn't used to be.

When you start using the phrase "back in the day when..."

You're sure that the girls that walked into the bar must be 14 because they look so young.

You hear yourself using expressions that your dad used.

You get up in the morning and look in the mirror and see your father's face staring back at you.

It will be ten years ago in December when my widowed mother passed. Her brother and I spoke quietly at her service in one of those perfect moments in family life that renew familial love.

It was then that he became the first (and only) person to ever tell me I looked exactly like my father.

10 years later, I'm beginning to believe him.

You use two spaces after a period.

You nervously meet your date's parents, and you're older than they are.

I do that here even though the system doesn't allow it. See? Here, let's try three. Nope, even four shows up as only one.

You get the waking farts when don't expect in the most public places, and you really don't care.

My 92 year old former boss would do that. It was astonishing to hear him walk across the building and with every step was a fart, and then him saying whoops, on one step, and excuse me on the next step. For 50 feet or more! We all just giggled quietly. In his words he took "early retirement" at age 92. On his 92nd birthday he took his final flight as a pilot in command. He was driving a car until his death at age 99. He kissed his wife goodnight and walked upstairs with no help, and she found him a few hours later when she went to bed. No hospital stay, no nursing home, and smart as a whip until the end.

I just came to this realization a few weeks ago!

And realize he was only 5 years older than you are now when he passed.

When “She Wore A Yellow Ribbon” is on the tv and you remember going to the theatre when it was released.

Truth in that, Glen. One of the few plusses...absolutely no need to prove a damned thing.

Cute young things open doors for you and smile.
