    That's the spirit! So you KNOW you're old, but don't really believe it. Well that's how I read it.

    If you know the speed setting on a phonograph player then your old enough. And you need to know all of them.

    You can't be. If I remember correctly you only retired recently with 20. So give us a birthday date.

    BTW: Never mind Jason. 59 is still just a kid.

    The way I heard it was 'You're only as old as you feel', and last weekend I was feeling a ... oops, this is a family friendly site.

    Old is subjective, I will feel old when I cannot shift the automatic trans in my MINI. :)

    Welp....
    That would make you an old shiftless person I guess. That would not be good.

    Ok, So you are not an old guy until you are a geezer, at what age do you begin to geeze?

    Seems that geezer was uttered only 1 time by my 26 year old daughter. :( Then she learned about walking at a nice age versus borrowing the car. :)

    But 'geezer' might be over 90, ya think!

    Ooh rah yerseff, Semper Fi! Over in the gulf (Tonkin) a detatchment of Marine communication techs bunked in our compartment. They were on some super spook detail that was never discussed but we sure had fun with those guys on R&R stops here and there. They didn't like being aboard ship much either. To me it was a school boys dream.

    There are two schools of thought on this subject to wit: Geezery and Geezology. Neither are something that you just fall in to. Think of the first time you started to notice girls and how long it took to get with that program. Just 'cause the clock ticks over doesn't mean you are ready to take on the title. I've been studying the ways of my hero, Walter Matthau for years and still don't feel up to his standard. There's more Zen to Geezery than there is to MINI motoring.
