Hi, Tom, I am almost done laughing now over your post but I think I will write anyway to re-indulge in the merriment I experienced vicariously imaining you in your semi-enibriated (use that dictionary cause another sign of aging is not caring about looking perfect, i.e., "smart" on all occasions---kinda like "the jig is up/and everyone knows it anyway, so, what the heck...:)))---point being I've given up on winning the geriatric spelling bee contests I guess I had been staying in shape for all these years........:)

This paragraph just could not leave my mirth category and the devil horns popped out of my forehead as I read it and needed to comment....:)

"A couple of the gifts I got were indicative of the aging process:) One was something that fits on my chair in the study and massages my back, shoulders and thighs on command. The other -- because I often can't remember where I left my keys--is this key chain that when one claps four times starts beeping and that way one can track the keys!!!"

.......now the first gift you mentioned I thought was a new 22 year old female until I thought better of it....I thought you said "lap" somewhere.....:)

.....and I thought the second gift came with a lamp or something that you could also turn off while you were looking for your keys....kinda killing off two birds with one stone so to speak...:)

......No bracelets with your address or illnesses on them in case you are found wandering......or worse yet, "you've fallen and you can't get up?"...

......and I am glad to hear that no one put any stocking stuffer Depends in your stocking......I am not sure if that is the final blow but it certainly rates up there in the "oh, no" department.....

Told my son it seems we start bald, wrinkly, and in plastic diapers and can seem to end up the same way if we live long enough......:) ...course it is better perhaps than the alternative...:)
