Subject: RE: Thought for the day - December 4th-99
Kind of a "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now" huh Bob??? Yeah, I like that thought myself.

Nice post Kat. We're doing the Christmas decorating now and the boys (no, not Cletus etc.) are at the "perfect" age for the season...and this year their infectious enthusiasm makes both Karen and I feel so good! We're trying to make this one a little more special...there are too few years when it will be like this for them, and us too. But young? Yeah, it sure gives me a boost.

And now, lest his fans think I only rag Peter T........Every time I hear one of these younger as older things, I think of Groucho's wordplay on "Your only as young as you feel." The Groucho version was a bit better.

"I heard it that you're only as young as the women you feel...In which case I'm 107."

But Katmyluv, since you're feeling what, say 19 or 20; well that sounds young enough to me. Shall we meet in Omaha for my youthful regenerative "feeling?"

AND BONNIE - How can you give me such a pair of lines? I mean really? This is "Incredibly Shallow and Generally Obnoxious" (and always scatological) old Catspaw! As Jeri said, I pounce on this stuff like a "Rock Star on a Supermodel." So...........

Personally BB, I enjoy being stiff as a board so if you want to do the splits, maybe we can "heighten" my enjoyment, so to speak.

Spaw --gawd, I have no shame............
