You know you're getting old when...

I remember buying Marlboros for a buck a carton.

I quit smoking when they reached 50 cents a pack.

Gas was .19 / gallon

quit smoking when I had my hip replaced...... Having hip replaced was probably all I need to say

You begin to find yourself attracted to older women..................Then you realise most of them are younger than you.

Twin Peaks aired when I was in high school but I never watched it untill a couple of weeks ago. Those hot chicks are all like 50 now.

Classic rock stations now play nirvana and nine inch nails.

Eminem's daughter graduated high school.

Soon aces high will be older than most of the people playing it.

And if that doesnt make you feel old, look up your classmates on facebook. Now they really are seniors.

I loved Twin Peaks.  It aired when I was in graduate school.  I wanted one day to visit the towns where they filmed parts of it.  Now I live near there.

Then.




Now


That's why you shouldn't look up old girlfriends on facebook. At my age it's just depressing.

Most of them are too old to have a FB page!

Yeah, getting old when all of your friends are nearly social security eligible....

Here's a small group of friends who gathered at our high school to visit during our 40th HS reunion in 2011.

Interesting group of folks.

The guy standing to the far left is the VP for a specialized security firm. He oversees training of SWAT teams and special hostage teams. The 4th guy standing from the left is a retired Engineering Manager from Raytheon. He oversaw the development of several missiles and guided weapons. Today, he flies his Bonanza and Cessna 172 all over the country. He's nearly finished building an RV7. The next fellow going L to R made a fortune in northern California real estate. The guy in the hideous tie-dye shirt, works of for the Nation Forest Service. He is one of several responsible for managing forest fire fighting efforts in Colorado. The man next to him (sunglasses hooked in his shirt) owns a manufacturing and service company that did more than $85 million in business last year. I'm the guy with the sunglasses. Behind me is a heart surgeon from Maryland. The fellow with the balding noggin and yellow shirt is the retired head of the New York State DEC. The guy over his shoulder is a marketing executive. Among the ladies are two doctors, three retired teachers, a professional musician, the owner of business jet service company (she flies them too), and a college professor. All in all, a rather distinguished group. All are 60 to 61 years old. All very active and busy. We meet a few times each year.



The group gets to together every winter at Captain Hiram's Resort in Florida...

Wow what year did Colorado desegregate their schools?

Seriously though, I came up in a dark time. The eighties were over and grunge hadn't happened yet, it was a gap, a sort of void. Hair bands still roamed the earth, in denial of their own extinction and oblivious to the fact that we were only buying tickets for the opening act. Fan's didn't wait around for Guns and Roses after Faith No More finished.


A dark time indeed.

Power!

Impressive!  Is there anything to which you attribute such a level of success across your group of classmates, any element of upbringing or local culture?
