You know you are old when
You know you are getting old when an attractive woman sits down next you in first class and says “it is going to be a long flight since I forgot to bring a book” and you look at her, smile and hand her a book to read. That just happened to me. But it made … Continue reading
Facebook for Seniors
A good friend of mine who is one of the few people I hang with that is actually older than I am (and maybe even younger in heart) asked me about my attraction to Facebook. He wondered what it was about Facebook that a 70 year old (his age) could enjoy. First of all, I … Continue reading
