    It surely is! Thank God G.W. Bush isn’t my elder — I don’t respect him and still wouldn’t if he were.

    Ahem … I think *we* are rapidly becoming them … no?

    Aha… Tamarika has the correct answer. To paraphrase Pogo, “We have met the old folks and they are us.”

    Speak for yourself, Winston ;)

    The Captain is getting rather old, but it is much better than the alternative.

    At least I think it is so far!

    Actually I’ve only been to one funeral in the past year. There was a spate of surprises between 40 and 50 (stress related deaths) but everybody who made it past 50 seems still to be alive, at least in my circle of friends (I’m 63 btw).

    MLH always says…”I think I’m getting old…my friends are starting to look like my parents.”

    It’s my eyesight that I really resent going.
