    Arlo’s eyes say it all. Reminds me of another comic where the old guy says “You remember 30 years ago when we moved here and there was that crazy old guy living across the street? Well now I’m told I am the old guy.”

    Reminds me of the time I was standing on the monorail at Disney World and a seated passenger asked me “Sir, would you like my seat?”. One of life’s defining moments…

    I became even more aware of how others perceive me several years ago when waitresses began calling me “Sweetie,” “Honey,” and “Dear.”

    Gad, I hate that.

    My hair is salt and pepper, with less pepper every year

    I would be surprised if anyone under 30 did not think of me as “old”

    I started getting the ‘old treatment’ a few years ago, and I hated it. Then I asked myself why. Was I mad that someone was being caring and considerate? (No, that would be foolish). Was I mad that I was getting older? (Definitely) Or was I attributing to others the same sense of superiority I felt years ago when I addressed older people in a similar way? (Probably). Realizing the last two items helped me see the kindness behind people’s actions and appreciate them.

    If we have enough “glory days” old age is just when we are resting for a wee bit. There’s a call for war stories and we don’t have to go to war to have them. I recognize them in the making when I stand still for a moment and wonder what to do now.

    I was raised to be respectful and defer to my elders. Now I am “the elder.” With no one to be respectful to, I guess I can start becoming “crotchety” now?

    I worked in an office where the A/C went down during one heat wave. I asked the accounting department if they were OK because the TV said to check on elderly neighbors. They all threw stuff at me (while they were laughing, of course).

    I went into a pizza place in NYC a few years ago and the counter guy said, “What’ll it be Pops?”….Pops!? I left the restaurant feeling somewhat older than when I walked in.

    My dad says he never felt old until all 4 of his kids were collecting Social Security. He’s now 95 and happy that he is still on the warm side of the rock.

    I believe all the comments have covered just about everything. Except this: Be glad if someone cares enough to worry about you and checks to make sure. We all could use an Ashlee next door.

    Younger people have unrealistic views of older folks. When he was in his 20’s Paul Simon wrote “Old Friends”, which has lines like “preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you” and “how terribly strange to be 70”. Today he’s 76 and doing world tours. Wonder what he thinks of that song now.

    Elderly is relative. My Great grandmother was in a nursing home in her 80’s. She would help out by pushing the “old people” in their wheel chairs. They were in their 60’s and 70’s.

    There was a strip in the summer of 2016 that insinuated Janis likes to sunbathe naked in her backyard. Something doesn’t jive here, unless they moved and I missed it.

    I’ve always wondered what Paul McCartney thinks when he hears his old song, “When I’m 64”….he’s 76 now. Time to write a new song?

    Kinda like getting your first issue of AARP magazine in the mail. You didn’t order it, but they know you just turned 55.
