You Know You've Reached Middle Age If...
You've come to the annoying realization that your parents were right about almost everything.
A gardener cuts your grass even though you have a brand-new lawn mower in the garage.
Now that you can finally afford front-row seats at a rock concert, you can't imagine why anyone would want to be there.
Whenever an old movie comes on television late at night, you've already seen it.
Your baby pictures are in black and white.
When watch reruns of Leave It to Beaver, The Brady Bunch, or The Wonder Years, you identify with the parents.
You remember where you were when President Kennedy was shot, but you can't remember where you put the car keys last night.
Your prescription refill number is programmed into your "speed dial."
You have your Christmas cards in the mail by December 1st.
You stopped worrying about hair loss and started worrying about memory loss.
You own more electrical appliances than there are electrical outlets in your home.
While you are appalled by President Clinton's alleged sexual exploits, you admire his stamina.
Your IRA has a higher balance than your credit cards.
You can make major household repairs without buying any new tools.
You've named your eyeglasses by the activity they permit you to do.
Some of your mortgage payment actually goes against the principal.
Watching Leno or Letterman is only possible on "nap" days.
Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, and Peter, Paul & Mary don't look that old to you.

| I remember JFK being killed. I was sitting in my 1st grade class and I couldn't understand why the teachers were crying. However, I never misplace my keys. I have a hook right next to the door to hang them on. As I get older I find ways to compensate for my memory, or lack of. |

I remember where I was when JFK died. I remember where I was when Nixon resigned. I never get lost, because everyone tells me where to go.

It depends? Where does middle age begin and end? We need a fully defined metric to calculate the answer.
Or, is it that I need "Depends". Dam, now I am all confused again. What was the question? Who are you? Where am I?
Never mind, never mind, I am going to take a nap now. Wake me when we get there. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Life's like a good book: the beginning is fresh with the anticipation of what may come; the middle is exciting with defined characters and a well established plot; the end is satisfying and complete and you finally get to go to sleep.
... Unless you get hit by a bus while reading it, in which case you'd be well advised to have read the synopsis first. :) |
