There are many ways in which it seems odd to me that I am old enough to be retired from active service. On the other hand, there are also frequent reminders of my age -- not the least of which are clerks who automatically give me the Senior Discount. (I am not complaining, mind you.)
Several of the pieces in my humor file have to do with age. So that will be my focus this week. I begin with a piece sent by my brother Larry in 2002 shortly after his 50th birthday. BTW, he turns 63 today! Happy Birthday, Larry.
I found it on a number of sites, but share it here from Janis Ian.
