Break out the Geritol

Wanna feel old? Well, no you probably don't actually. No one really wants to feel old, but it happens. Here is something that is making me feel old - the Boy has his driver's permit. At the risk of sounding like a geezer - I used to change his poopy diapers. Oh crap, I sounded like a geezer just then. Hold on, I feel some more coming on...
Last time I saw you, you were knee-high to a grasshopper.
I remember when you could buy a malted milk shake at Kresge's.
Minimum wage used to be $2.00/hour.
Kids these days just don't understand the value of hard work.
SLAP!
Whew, thank you for slapping me and bringing me to my senses. I was getting ready to put on black socks and bermuda shorts and go mow the lawn. That was a close one.

Get to the Point

Just returned from a family trip to Cedar Point - America's roller coast, ride on! We must have heard that catch phrase 8 bazillion times yesterday. The Wife and kids (& kid's friends) had a blast despite the intermittent rain showers.

Here are a few observations I made during my people watching;
Some people apparently do not own mirrors - how could you leave the house wearing that outfit thats 20 years out of date and 3 sizes too small, lady.
America has a weight problem. Not just a little weight problem - oops I ate too much at dinner tonight. But, Wow I overate at every meal since I was 10 years old. Pass the twinkies and shut up skinny man.
Americans love to be scared, and they will pay lots of money for it.
Muffin tops are not sexy, pull your shirt down. This goes for men too!
