Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, surely I can't look that old. Well . . . you'll love this one.

My name is Alice, and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist.

I noticed his DDS diploma on the wall, which bore his full name. suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 30-odd years ago.

Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?

Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought.

This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.

After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan park high school .

'Yes. yes, I did. I’m a mustang,' he gleamed with pride.

'When did you graduate?' I asked.

He answered, 'in 1975. why do you ask?'

'You were in my class!', I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely.

Then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled faced, fat-a**ed, gray-haired, decrepit son-of-a-b**ch asked,

'What did you teach??’

The bad thing is that I see my old high school (Class of 66) Geometry teacher all the time and he doesn't look as old as me. Oh yeah - I'm old enough to be most of my students' grandfather.

Luke that is hysterical. I laughed out loud. I think that the attitude and the way we think about older people is about to change with the baby boomers coming of age now. We were such a free, spirited bunch of people in the 60's. And most of us continue to be so. Baby boomers will not have the "old" attitude that past seniors had. For an example: More babyboomers on scoots and motorcycles now. Didn't happen so much in the past. Motorcycles were vehicles for the "youths" and also for the "wild ones". Yea, Attitudes towards seniors are changing. We are as young as we ever were and this is a great time in history to be a retired senior. We have a lot of good times left to live.
