Today it is official, I have reached the status of an old fart.  I am pretty sure that my grandchildren elevated me to this lofty position years ago, but today, it is official.  I am one of them now.

Old fart  An old man, an old fellow (considered offensive to the elderly) ...... Why does the old fart keep on talking so much?

2.  Old fart

An old guy that is just not right and officially has nothing in his tool box to offer ..... Peter turned the age of an old fart officially on Nov 22nd but, had been practicing for quite some time.

3.  Old fart

What you smell when you smack your hand on your couch, car, or dining room chair, seat cushions ..... I was doing spring cleaning and beating the dust off the couch when that old fart hit me right in the face.

We are graying out in this country, the driving force now seems to be the Baby Boomers that are taking out, for the “Good Life.”  Whatever is left of it, that is.  The American Dream thanks to years of neglect and voter apathy, is now long gone, a thing of the past, only a wisp of a memory on the consciousness of the people.

I have no great plans for this day, it is after all, just another in a long string of days.  I find myself thankful that I still have a few years remaining, that my choices albeit somewhat limited are still available to me at this age.

It is often hard for me to understand the aging process, the subtle changes in my moods, my body, my way of thinking.  I find it hard to get used to pee’ing in shifts, I don’t like the words, colonoscopy, medi-mucile, Citricell, you have a generic condition known as. 

Recently after going thru a few rounds of some physical discomfort, I inquired of my doctor, “What is it that caused this thing?” and he looked at me and smiled, “Too many birthdays” was his reply.  I could only think one thing at the time ... “Well buddy, don’t look now, because your turn is a coming.”

(We all get a turn and that includes YOU Scott!).

My grand daughter asked me, “How old are you Grandpa?” and I replied “I am so old that I can remember when I didn’t have to have a password for anything.” 

Her little eyes widen a little, she sighs, and says ... THAT IS REALLY OLD.

Viagra isn’t even an option any more, kind of like putting a brand new flagpole on a condemned building, b’sides you have to have a partner, dontcha?  My bride has one use for sex with me and that is to time a one-minute egg, other than that, she could care less.  One precursor to old age is that you have to get something on the ball, even if you are too old and tired to bounce it.

You know you are sixty-nine when you discover that you have that dreaded furniture disease. That's when your chest is falling into your drawers!  When you hitch up your pants so much, that at the next high-school reunion, you will be a pair of pants, with a set of ears.

Now I can finally take an application blank, the one’s that always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency.

I can write in ... “A Good Doctor!”

Never noticed it before, but my wife has started reading her Bible more, now that we are both getting older.  Then, it dawned on me, she could be cramming for her finals.  As for me, I'm just hoping God grades on the curve.

Thank you Clifford for the well wishes and good thoughts, always a good thing to see early in the morning on Wednesday.

It is a little early to be thinking about Pahrump, it is after all, a little over 1200 miles from here and a long jag.  Guys like myself (in the middle of the country) Melbo, a few others, we have to consider it because of the distance.  For West-coasters however, it is just a little hop down there and you are there.

Thanks to all of you for the well wishes on my day.  Same old drill, took 'em all out to eat, I got to pay, and sit at the end of the table with the youngsters.  Other than that, it was the same old, same old.
