I just went through the latest issue of my college alumni magazine. For the first time, more of my classmates are mentioned in the Obituary section than in the Accomplishments section.

Jeez.

It first struck home that I was aging in (if memory serves) February 1980, when for the first time Playboy featured a centerfold who was born after I was.

The next benchmark will be when I'm older than anyone playing major league baseball. Thank God for Julio Franco. --Bob

My father complained that all of his old friends are dying. I told him to get younger friends.

For me it's realizing that my pastor is younger than I.

FIL attended his 50th high school reunion. Came back and said he wouldn't go to another one. "There were all these OLD people there!"
