Hello, RUTH.

Pretty much.  I get called "dirty old man" every now and again when people find
out my wife's a decade younger than I am, but I just mark up to jealousy or
something.

What's frightening to me is that 80s "style" is back in vogue.  I thought I
killed off the skinny ties, Members Only jackets and pastels in my mind years
ago, but now it's all coming back.

The toys I played with as a child are coming back in new versions and being
declared the next "hot thing" for kids.  I guess what my mom told me years ago
is true: "What goes around comes around...every 20 years."  It's funny for me
and people in my age group to make comments about the 80s stuff although I
really didn't get into the decade until around 1985 or so since I was a little
young to get into the early 80s yet.

Oh well.  I still think I'm 16 with 21 years' experience.  My grandmother, who
is 84 now, says the only reason she feels her age is looking at her kids who
are all in their 60s. :)

Later,
Sean
