Just some thoughts on 61

Top 10 truths, thoughts, questions, concerns & ideas I’ve had regarding turning 61…pretty much the same as last year’s 60’s list with a few additions!

10     My saying has been…it’s not the age; it’s the miles…Yep, about the same. Mom told me, Son, don’t ride them bulls…and those motorcycles…and climb that high iron on those high rise buildings…and…stay outta fights…and…Okay Mom, now I get it.

9         I still wonder how much more cost for walker w/wheels…& some of those nice tennis ball covers? Difference from 60 to 61?...I’ve decided to wait on this one.

8         Really, $4,500 for one tooth? I can remember when they were much, much less! One year later this one still gets me. Last time I went to the Burleson Walmart I realized I could have just left that missing tooth in the front…missing, I would have fit right in!

7         No, I don’t wear my wranglers as tight as I used to…getting in those extra heavy starched jeans was like running a 5K run just to get the damn things on! Oh, and make that “medium starch” please! Difference from 60 to 61?...and make that light starch please!

6         Some people take something to read when they have to go #2…I now take reading material while standing for #1. Through prayer this one’s gotten better…Amen and that is all.

5         I feel Moses & I now have even more in common than just ssssttturing.  Been working really hard on this one this last year, what do you ggguys ttthink?

4         The statement…older than dirt just isn’t as funny as I used to think it was & the term “spring chicken” is now…”fall rooster”.  Difference from 60 to 61?...I’ve decided I still have it…let me see now…gotta remember where I put it.

3         I’ve never given being “un-friended” from someone on Facebook any thought but did you have to do it on my birthday? Guess turning 60 was just too much for em’.  Difference from 60 to 61?...Keep off Face Book and you won’t being paying attention to it! . Besides, I’ve got my own issues to deal with…

2         And now, if someone says to you, I don’t think this is very funny or, Young’s really a dork…just look at the person and say, the Dude is 60, what do you expect!  Difference from 60 to 61?...Duh, he’s now 61.

1         Even at 60, I can still hear Cara saying…Dad, that girl is way too young!  Difference from 60 to 61?...Just my age.
