La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for May 19, 2023

Well, they are as old as the elements.

Too bad they are not as cute as Vero.

Gotta start graduating from something, might as well be Kindergarten.

Time for Recess !! … :)

Smiling out loud!

 Ruminations on Aging

Most people don’t think I’m as old as I am until they hear me stand up.

I’m so old that I have:

 –dialed a rotary phone (that didn’t have an answering machine).

 –recorded a song that I love off a transistor radio onto a tape recorder.

 –watched a black-and-white TV (with fewer than 10 channels) that had foil on the rabbit ears.

 –taken a long walk without counting the steps.

 –eaten food that I didn’t take pictures of.

I really don’t mind getting older, but my body is taking it badly.

So it turns out that being an adult is mostly just googling how to do stuff.

Getting older is just one body part after another saying “Ha ha, you think that’s bad? Watch this!”

My mind is like my Internet browser: 19 tabs open, 3 of them are frozen, and I have no idea where the music is coming from.

I miss the ‘90s, when bread was still good for you and no one knew what kale was.

If you see me talking to myself, I’m having a staff meeting.

Do you ever get up in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror, and think “That can’t be accurate!”?

I wanna be 14 again and ruin my life differently. I have new ideas.

Age is just a number. Yeah, and jail is just a room.

As I watch this generation try to rewrite history, one thing I’m sure of: It will be misspelled and have no punctuation.

I don’t always go the extra mile, but when I do it’s because I missed my exit.

My doctor said at my age I should really install a bar in the shower, so I did. Cheers!
