When you turn on a "Top 40" radio station and don't know a single song... and can't stand any of them either!

When you fondly recall the freedom of driving in your car, the one place you could go where no one can reach you (before cell phones)

When you watch college sports and notice the athletes look like kids

Last summer, I decided to go on a fitness kick and start bike riding (which I had enjoyed about a decade ago). So, I bring it up from the basement, get it all tuned up, air in the tires, pack all my db suplies in the little handlebar bag..............................I was ready to hop on and my leg would not swing up and over like it used to. Tried again, same deal. Hmmmmmm.....some old age stiffness seemed to have set in. Then I tried to lift it over with my arms. A couple of people walked by and laughed......................Yes, I finally got on it, but by then was very tired.

I had something similar happen to me. While getting into the passenger side of the car. I found that I could not lift my right leg to get it into the car. Hmmm... I thought. Tried again... nope. Grabbed my pantleg and lifted...

I REALLY need to get out more. LOL

When the bagger at the grocery store calls you "ma'am" and means it because you are older than their mother!

How about when your high school classmates have kids going to the same school you went to.

My old high school biology teacher (from 1978) now teaches at my daughter's school. In a couple of years, my daughter will have her for her own science class. If it is any consolation, I wonder how old my old science teacher will feel teaching a second generation.
