Age Spots

I am now a card carrying member of the AARP. I got in through a loophole. I have a few years to go until I hit 50 years of age. However, my wife recently hit the half-century mark on her life odometer. She wasn't happy about it. I am, since if one spouse is eligible for AARP membership, the younger spouse gets "grandfathered" in (no pun intended) for membership eligibility. While my lovely wife isn't too happy, I am a hppy camper. Now we can get the senior citizen specials at restaurants.

There is another sign of aging that emerged for millions of people a week ago. For the first time for many in the baby-boom generation, the President of the United States is going to be younger than they are. My wife is in that category. I barely missed it.
