So okay how does one know one is old? And when does your brain kick in and you realize you have arrived at old age, and from this point on its all uphill, a very steep hill that just keeps going up and up never ending.
Okay so its memorial day weekend and we have tons of folks here to visit, I myself got a visit from my cousin whom I have not seen in over a year, we did the Peter Noone thing, and hit the parks, did rides and flirted shamelessly with girls of all nationalities. ( I have a voucher from Donna stating its okay)
Last night was when it hit, tired, hot and burned out, all I wanted to do was go home and die Mind you it was 10:30 at night and we had been at it since 8:30am and having gone to bed at 3:00am the night before.
We met the troops at Hermans Hermits for the last show, and they had been SITTING there since 2:00pm and it was now nearly 8:00pm (Key word sitting) it was way too crowded so we decided to keep touring the park finally leaving with a side trip to my daughters house to visit my grandkids.
Well we find my 3 grandkids playing video games, and the oldest wants to go to city walk (Universal Studios) so she calls up a few of her friends and when they arrive they all want to go to city walk, not stay at home and quietly play some video games, or read or do some knitting Noooooooo city walk (AKA Sin City) open till 4:00am party party party.
Well here is my dilemma, I can go to city walk, with my cousin and a bunch of teenagers, city walk has girls, electric sex everywhere, loud music, girls, partying, girls barely dressed, indeed a haven of moral decay, a pit wild rampant lawlessness were the lights are keep low, and a 40 year old could pass for a 20 year old and relive his lost youth (You know a perfect place for Ed)
Well I thought long and hard, I even flipped a coin, but lost. Truth I wanted to go home order food and watch the news, also go to bathroom since I have been in a holding patern since Thursday, So not to look like a weenie to the kids I would call Donna, I figured I would get a there is no way in heck your going to city walk Well I got it, not from Donna, who said good idea go take Juan and have a good time, but from June who was yelling in the background for me to act my age, and then the clincher from my youngest granddaughter who said and I quote Poppy youre to old to go to city walk you might get broken there, and I would miss you Well since the adults let me down I had to go with the kid.
I decided in the interest of my youngest granddaughter I would bypass city walk go home and keep myself in one piece.
So there it was me Ed, of all people, I voted not to go spend time with a bunch of crazed half naked teens bouncing around hooting and hollering throwing caution to the wind, ripping off cloths for $.29 beads, doing stunts in the parking lots with skateboards. Drinking chocolate yoo-hoo without a straw, chugging Metamucil in chugging binges, you know, all the things I consider fun and good. Instead I voted to go home play nice and go to bed with my slippers and warm glass of milk instead.
So Im 40, big deal I can keep up with the best of them, most of the time, but not 3 days straight, I needed a little down time to recharge my batteries, and am I sad? Am I unhappy? Do I care? I will survive today they are all dead tired me I got a full charge and Im good to go keys in my hand and yea baby.

The secret to the universe hang out with people older than you and, when they cant keep up youll feel good about yourself, but hang out with people younger than you and you will be the old fart that needs a nap.
No old people were harmed in the making of this thread. The names of the old were changed to protect the innocent. Im 40 but I feel 65. There is nothing wrong with a 40-year-old hanging and acting like a 20 year old, with 20 year olds. I can run circles around any person in a nursing home, so there.
