An Oldie But a Goodie!

“Dedicated to the One I Love”
(1967 hit pop song by ‘The Mamas and the Papas’)

Then

Happy 60th Birthday Dale!

12 Reasons Why . . . 
Being an Oldie is a Goodie:

1. Your failing eyesight saves you the anguish of watching your body disintegrate. 


2. Your continuing hernia operations give you more in common with your peer group.

3. You’re a champ at history questions, since you were alive during most of it.

4. You don’t need to make a big effort to be interesting and stylish anymore. People expect you to be boring and frumpy.


5. Your failing memory allows you to convince yourself that you’re still handsome and super sexy.


6. You preserve family history by talking about the good old days when you were a kid.


7. You hear your favorite songs in the elevator and during medical office visits.


8. You are well informed as you listen incessantly to talk radio and regularly watch the Weather Channel.


9. There isn’t a generation gap between you and your grand-baby. You both take naps throughout the day.


10. 90% of the time that you spend in front of the computer is for real work.


11. Your former “get up and go” just “got up and went.” But you smile and you grin, when you think where it’s been!


12. You’ve read this entire list, desperately looking for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one. But it doesn’t really matter anyway, because you won’t remember reading this by tomorrow!
