I picked up Brendan at his new daycare yesterday. He's 6 and I'm 55 {until the end of June}. I was asked if I was his grandfather - but I guess I have to expect that. I'm just glad I was able to laugh about it.

Over the years, my sister (who is 4 years older than I) has asked me a number of questions to determine if what she is experiencing is "normal."

I'm beginning to suspect, myself, that people tend to tapdance around the realities of the indignities that go along with aging. But who else is gonna tell us?!?!?!? IMO, you old folks have a responsibility to clue aging pals in on what we face.


So I'll be logging out for my subsequent posts in this thread, and I bet y'all will too. But when this becomes a Getaway workshop topic, I WILL show up to lead it (yes I'll take the scholarship), because on THIS one I can keep the laughter going in a safe way so we can all reduce our embarrassment!
