Getting Old

#1 Post by Estonut » Tue Jan 20, 2009 5:42 am

I first noticed pro ballplayers, musicians and Playboy centerfolds that were younger than I am. This is the first time the POTUS will be.

Sheesh.

Last night, Sting and I were talking about it all and this phrase kept creeping into our conversation when talking about Dr King and Mr Obama:

"And that was in our life time"

We are old. I am not sad about that. We have lived history. That is pretty cool.

When we called our current pastor it was the first time that I had been in a church where the pastor was younger than I. Now the POTUS is as well. <*sigh*>

It didn't take long for the first ballplayer younger than me to make it to teh Majors since A-Rod is 2 weeks younger than me and made his debut at the tender age of 18..... and it did make me feel old at the time....

At least I can take comfort in the fact that I'm not yet eligible to run for POTUS..... :mrgreen:

I have no problem with any of the above. Especially the centerfolds.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I don't feel old yet, but I DID feel old when I realized that my oldest nephew and niece are 4 and 3 years older than Ben Roethlisberger....and that I'm 5 years older than Mike Tomlin.

I got a twinge on Sunday when they said something about Kurt Warner being Father Time and I realized that he was born in the 70's! Maybe I shouldn't call him "Pops" (except that it goes so well with Warner....ha!)

He's older than me...

I used to get depessed when the Cosmo cover girls started being younger than me. It was always a great month when Cindy Crawford was on the cover becuase she is older than me.
