Feeling older still

On December 7, 2012 I posted a blog that I titled "Gettin' Old."  (I didn't even mention that it was Pearl Harbor Day.)

Of course, gettin' old is inevitable, if you live long enough.  Feelin' old ..., that sorta comes in waves.  There are a lot of things that can make you feel old.  When you think about something that was just the other day, and realize it's been 30 years ..., it sorta makes you feel old.  It's just the amount of time that has elapsed since yesterday that increases.

Some people feel old at 30, some at 40 ..., for me it was 36.  Thirty six and a half (or thereabouts) actually.  I was driving down the road and heard the Alice Cooper song "Eighteen" on the radio..., and realized that it had been 18 years since I was 18.  (And all the other statistics that entails, which I won't inflict on you now.)

This past weekend Cheap Trick played a water park in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  I feel old.

I was just looking at one of the articles I read for last weeks blog.  Last Friday was the sixth full moon to fall on Friday the Thirteenth in my lifetime.  I just realized that on the next one I will be 92 years old (in the unlikely event that I'm here at all.)

I can retire in 240 days.  I know I had more to say, but I can't think of it now.  Maybe next week.  Until then, GET OFF MY LAWN!
