Thanks for the mention.

The thing that really drives me nuts is noticing a particularly attractive “older woman”, then realizing that one, she’s probably about 40, and two, she’s dead out of my league.

I get the “but you don’t look 65,” all the time. I say, “Actually, this is what 65 looks like.”

Naw, you got it all wrong. It’s BLAM! “Get him off my lawn”

Shoot first. That way they know you’re serious.

I gave up on the Senior label when AARP started trying to recruit younger and younger. My 43 year old friend just got a welcome packet.

Besides, Jackie Gleason, The Great One, said 50 is only middle age if you are planning to live to 100. I am.

Oh, and GET OFF MY LAWN and TURN DOWN THAT MUSIC.

The Warren Theater recognizes Seniors at 55 as does IHOP and a couple of others. Seemingly though most of them still use either 60, 62 or 65 to denote Senior status.

I don’t know about you but I get a little tired of “OMG . . one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel” reaction I elicit quite a bit when people discover how old I am.
