Despite the increasing gray, I have no plans of removing any facial hair

Nor I. If shaving it off removes 15 years, I guess I'll get the senior discount 15 years early. Now if I could just convince the IRS for an early 401k withdrawal...

this feels freakin weird

I bet it does. You look much younger btw.

thats probably the part that feels so weird. :p

"Back When" ~ Tim McGraw

Don't you remember
The fizz in a pepper
Peanuts in a bottle
At ten, two and four
A fried bologna sandwich
With mayo and tomato
Sittin' round the table
Don't happen much anymore

We got too complicated
It's all way over-rated
I like the old and out-dated
Way of life

Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when

I love my records
Black, shiny vinyl
Clicks and pops
And white noise
Man they sounded fine
I had my favorite stations
The ones that played them all
Country, soul and rock-and-roll
What happened to those times?

I'm readin' Street Slang For Dummies
Cause they put pop in my country
I want more for my money
The way it was back then

Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when

Give me a flat top for strumming
I want the whole world to be humming
Just keep it coming
The way it was back then

Back when a hoe was a hoe
Coke was a coke
And crack's what you were doing
When you were cracking jokes
Back when a screw was a screw
The wind was all that blew
And when you said I'm down with that
Well it meant you had the flu
I miss back when
I miss back when
I miss back when

I'm getting old.... I remember when Sex was dirty, and Air was clean.

Ya know - it's totally not fair that men can simply shave off their beards and get an instant age makeover. Not that I want a beard - just an near-instant youngness-makeover. (for looks - I'll keep my mind right here at 37)

I know I'm getting old when I've been sitting on the floor too long and my kness crack when I get up.

... when I look back at my driver's license photo that I used to hate and think - man - I looked good back then didn't I!

...when I look at the year and note that my 20 year high school reunion is next year. 20 years! when did that happen? 10? Okay. But 20? Come on now. Someone is just fooling.

...when I talk to some of the people I work with and note that I'm twice as old as a few of them. Twice as old! x's 2. Double.

Well, according to one definition of a beard (see #7), you could shave off a beard and look years younger!

Mine is tomorrow.

Take my word for it, when you see some of the other people in your class, you'll realize yeah, its been twenty years, esp for them.
