KevinParticipantwhen you are getting ready to disembark the Metro bus and you hear this beep, beep, beep… noise indicating that the driver is “kneeling” the bus just for you. :) Thank you Metro – I appreciate your courtesy, even if I’m not quite that old yet… :)

KevinParticipantand… when I attend some “old car” show shooting from down on my knees and when attempting to get up, some (older than me) geezer comments that; “get’s harder to get up when you get older, doesn’t it?”
Signs of the times I guess :)

miwsParticipant…..when you exchange smiles with a young woman you encounter, and after that split second in which your was ego inflated, you come to the realization that the returned smile, rather than being one acknowledging mutual attraction, was one of her likely thinking; “Awww, he seems like a nice man! Reminds me of my Dad (or GULP!) Grandpaaaaa!”
