Reminded me of what i aspire to one day.

I cannot wait until i am grey and hunched over with a hump back

Have you ever noticed that older citizens have somehow earned the right to being cranky old b-a-s-t-a-r-d-s.

I can't wait. Being entitled to saying things like:
"leave me alone i'm busy"
"you young whipersnappers"
"If i was younger i'd wring your neck"
"Can't you see i'm busy"
"gosh durn, price of prescriptions"
"they don't make things like they used to"
"you kids have it easy"
" i used to walk to scool 5 miles in the snow, uphill, both directions"
"leave me alone, I AM BUSY"


is this wrong to aspire to being AS and be forgiven of my quirks, just cause of my age.

OLD people RULE!

I couldn't find my favorite old fogey one.

I chose "can't imagine..." but I'd like the right to be a grumpy old fart if I so desire!

Well, just as you can get away with being cranky as a senior, you can also get away with being kind and walked on. So I'll be fine. :-)

It's never possible to tell. My poor sleep schedule is long gone... recently I've been sleeping around 7-8 am til noon or so...

with luck I get to disappear tomorrow night into the Adirondacks

In search of a new year, my kind of party, an ice-fishing trip!
