PERKS OF BEING OVER 501. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.2. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.3. No one expects you to run--anywhere.4. People call at 9 PM and ask, " Did I wake you?"5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.7. Things you buy now won't wear out.8. You can eat dinner at 4 P.M.9. You can live without sex but not your glasses.10. You enjoy hearing about other people's operations.11. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.12. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.13. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.14. You sing along with elevator music.15. Your eyes won't get much worse.16. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.17. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.18. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.19. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.20. You can't remember who sent you this list, so in passing it along they may get it back.

What's really great is their being able to do it, and enjoy it. I'm getting to the age where 81 is looking younger almost daily, and 86 and on my feet, and not drooling (too much) is a goal to aim for.

Nuts, after having caught some strep-like bug this past week and being out sick for two days, I'm 46 and drooling all over myself. Bleah!
