I usally can't help but feel pretty special riding around in my Crossfire with my lovely wife at my side. I guess you could say good for the ego of a "middle aged?" man.
Then we stop at McDonalds for a cup of coffee...
I ask for 2 small black coffees and the girl rings me up for 2 "Senior" coffees.
I didn't even know they had such a thing
Then today the same thing, The cheap side of me likes saving a few pennies, but I must admit it makes one think of coloring the gray hairs

Needless to say my family is getting a big kick out of this...

 

I bet the girl is actually thinking " that lovely lady is with her sugar daddy."

 

Or maybe ........

the girl is actually thinking " that lovely lady is with her dad." LOL

 

Yea you guys are really making me feel better

 

We Canadians try to make our neighbors feel good about themselves.

 

At age 54 you have already recieved the AARP package. They send it out when you're 50.
Welcome to old age(my world). Life really starts passing you by quickly from now on.

 

Turned 50 in 07 and nine days later after my 50th b-day, I had a heart attack, talk about a Reality Check!

 

You're not old, Rick. You're "experienced".

 

Welcome to the senior world Rick, You are only as old as you want to be. Not as old as you feel or that other people think you are. Been there done that. Lorne

 

I turned 50 last month. Other than keeping an eye on my cholesterol and a bicuspid heart valve - I am fine with it. Sure, I am getting older - but am trying to not get OLD.

Ah, but life is SHORT and it seems like it's getting shorter.

 

Well you guys are half way to being Antiques... making you all priceless artifacts!

 

Older? No, I just think of it as being closer to the finish line of the rat race!

 

Growing old isn't fun. But it's better than the alternative !!!!

 

It must be the company you keep.

 

Rick, it's called being seasoned....

 

I was thinking that, but thought I'd be nice and not mention it

 

Thanks for all your words of encouragement, It's nice to be experienced and seasoned all at the same time.
Actually getting older doesn't really bother me, it's just the fact that other people seem to be noticing

 

Growing old is a manditory function.
Growing up is not.

Age is a state of mind but Margaritaville is also a state of "something." Spend enough time there and "it don't matter" what others think.

Choice is yours.

Choose wisely my friend.

MAYBE THE YOUNG LADY AT MCDONALDS IS GIVING YOU A DISCOUNT BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO RIDE IN YOUR NICE LOOKING" CROSSFIRE" AND HAVE YOU BE HER "SUGAR DADDY"

 

Don't feel bad Rick. Last sunday you were the young pup in the group.
