do I begin to wear dress shoes and white socks with shorts.
do I choose Lawrence Welk reruns over watching American Idol.
do I start the morning by scanning the obituaries.
do I enjoy it when someone calls me a “hot daddy.”
do I consider six hours sleep to be a full night’s rest.
do I accept that I am no longer Peter Pan and have gotten old.
do I figure out the meaning of life.
do I alter my diet, according to the teeth that remain in my mouth.
do I remember more details of my childhood than what happened yesterday.
do I drive 30mph on the interstate.
Aging is inevitable. It is through grace that we age with dignity. It sets us apart.
I have learned many valuable lessons (many of them the hard way) over the years.
So at what point…
Do all of my dreams come true?

Just say no, Dave, just say no.
Certainly you don't really wear white socks, dress shoes, & shorts? I hope not, or that image may haunt me in my dreams. Whenever Doug sees an old guy with dark socks & shorts, he says that'll be him someday. I always tell him he has to live that long first. =) Not on my watch, damn it.
