We were naming songs that were on Top Gun, if you look back a little you will see.

Yeah, we used to do this. Makes us sound like impatient customers but we're just having some fun. The gas station attendants didn't like it, though.

Some of them would ring continuously if you managed to stop right on them.

When the 45th anniversaries of major days in your life are fast approaching. (Graduation, first day at basic training, etc.)

Egads. I remember when I thought just being 45 years old was ancient.

Welcome to the edge of my lawn.

When I was a kid (15 or so) I used to think "I hope I die before I got old," from The Who's "My Generation." Thinking then that old was 30 or older, because 'those people' were so boring.

Now I'm happy to still be alive and I hope I live well into my 80s, but only as long as I'm healthy and able to take care of myself.

Welcome. It's a very nice club. I'm having the time of my life. When I was younger I used to feel like I was old. Not anymore. I'm just grateful to be here and have the time to do what I want or nothing at all.

...when you announce to anyone listening, I'm going to "hit the hay" when you are headed for bed.

"Hit the hay"? Who says that anymore?

[sygazelle]

...when you watch the new West Side Story and are able to compare it to the original you watched when it was released in 1961.

[sygazelle]

...when your birth year is closer to 1878 than it is to 2022.

And the sun is still up. Just sayin'.

...when you got your mouth washed out with soap as a kid.

Never had my mouth washed out with soap and I still have a dirty mouth to this day.

Oh, I'm old enough, I just never allowed it to happen.
