Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 04, 2015

Yep, a danged space-time anomaly is what’s done made me get so old, so very fast. No other explanation.

Methinks he’s on to something. Or on something. Whichever.

My memories of the intervening years isn’t perfect, but I have the memories and gray hairs as evidence.

Funny, how the mind THINKS we’re still young…it’s the BODY that gives it up, first…in a not-so-funny way.

Cue the Twilight Zone music!!

timzsixty9, I know what you mean. I keep forgetting I’m not as young as I remember being a not too long ago.

Three more rent checks and my odometer rolls over to 80.But it’s no sign yer gittin’ old when yer hair turns gray~It’s no sign yer gittin’ old when yer teeth decay~But buddy, it’s time for a turn of sleep~When yer mind makes a date yer BODY can’t keep !

Yup, he goes through a flaw in the space-time continuum as a young man and ends up next to Janis with her ample bosom. How nice is that.

53? Why you young whippersnapper . . .

From Little Feat: You know that you’re over the hill when your mind makes a promise that your body can’t fill. Old folks boogy and boogy they will…cuz to us the thoughts as good as the thrill.

Nice smile.

I’m reminded of the saying: “Inside every old man is a young man wondering what happened.”

Our eldest daughter will turn 53 tomorrow. How do you think that makes hubby and me feel? I did NOT give her permission to do that.

Who let that kid in……listen and learn ,there are some smart people here ,including you.

Admit it, it’s a fun ride.

That is as good an explanation as any!

The thing is, I still feel like I’m running inside that thing… and it’s speeding up!

I went to my high school class’ 50 year reunion last night. So many old people there.

Same thing. Turned 52 a couple of months ago and to think that I entered Junior High School…. GASP……40 years ago???? No, it can’t be that long ago.

Better than the alternative as they say….

I turn 53 a few months ago also — turns out it was actually 262 months — and 13 still seems not that long ago.

Indeed!!! Believe it or not….(95) and remember being 11!

It’s interesting….in the old movies I love, people my age are stooped, have white hair in buns, use canes, creak when they speak, retire gently to rockers on the porch, and doze by the fireside in the evenings. They don’t run around in jeans (admittedly in running shoes with good arch support), run errands for friends, volunteer at building events, etc., etc. We’ve come a long way, baby???

Works for me. People ask me all the time how long I’ve been in my profession. It’s hard to wrap my head around 31 years.

was in some pictures this last week – only thing i could think of when i saw them was “who is that old guy?”

“There may be snow on the roof, but there’s still fire in the furnace!”

The awful part is, whippersnappers look at us and think we’re 20 years older than we really are. They are willing to push us off the planet at the first gray hair. No clue that one day, they will be us.

You are a mere child!!! My eldest child is 54. And I remember my 11th B-day,,a friend gave me a hard cover book…named “Black Beauty” and I still have it, minus the dust jacket, tho..hehe

Good answer.

A facebook picture… “Am I the only one who, when he hears the phrase ‘10 years ago’, thinks of the 1990s instead fo 2005?”

Don’t be obtuse. Neither one of them are talking about making love.
