I Resemble That Remark… (5!)

May 28, 2015 by kmabarrett

A person is always startled when he hears himself seriously called an old man for the first time.

— Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

[Who’s that old man in your selfie? LOL!! — KMAB]

Good quote. I suspect I called myself an old man long before anyone else did. As with every stage of life, there are advantages and disadvantages. Some of my friends didn’t live long enough to be called “old man.” Considering their fate, I’ll gladly be an “old man.” Plus, I have begun qualifying for senior discounts.
;-D!

  Senior Discounts!!! You and me both, bro. You and me both. Hil is still kidding me about this because she turns 60 later this year. LOL
