[TPIN] Not old yet!!!!

[Allegro69]

Once upon a time there was a show on TV called "Life Begins At Eighty".
Those folks really knew where it's 'at'. Never mind about me being 63
(actually, I'm 62 but add a year for bad behavior) where I'm not even middle
aged yet. At my age, I'm still in nappies - thankfully not because of
incontinence, but because I'm young - only because I FEEL young and ACT
young. I can't wait until I turn 90. That's when I get rid of any sedan
style automobile I'm driving and go out and buy a Mercedes sports model car.
At my side will be my lady friend who is of my same age, but she's going to
be the foxy lady she is now, no matter what her age may be in later years.
Birthdays are but mere numbers. What counts is how old you really want to
be. Too many folks out there are letting themselves get old - long before
it's time.
