I find humor. I'm now a freshman in the class of the seniors tribe. [View all]

Recently turned sixty a few weeks back. The other day at the gym with a friend who is age sixty two. So dude and i were working out together .
And in doing the box jumps i had to take a break i felt a twinge in my knee.
Took a break walked it off , he said to me do you want my orthopedic doctor number.
And then two Saturdays ago my dear lady friend whom i love a widow so glad i have her in my life. This fine woman and i rolled to checkout some local Mennonite markets.
As they have great prices on meats and cheese they cut out the middleman. This fine lady is like a rifle company first sergeant from my youth beans and bullets i say jokingly as she prepared for our deployment.
A cooler loaded with frozen blue ice packs in the trunk for our purchases. Riding around in my 2004 Toyota Corolla in which i just purchased as a daily commute vehicle only 72000 miles on it. My grandkids will be able to drive the Toyota one day my request just put my ashes in the trunk in a coffee can and refer to the Corolla as the pop pop memorial cruiser.
This fine lady and i were talking excitedly on that Saturday headed home after a day of shopping about our purchases.
Example can you believe that the provolone was only $3.29 a pound.
I have now come to realize that I’m the same age as you old people.
