Card me right now or I’ll have feds all over your ass.

Today I presented a cashier with a case of beer and my license on top.
“What’s this?” she asked.
“It’s my license,” I said.
She stared at it, confused. “Are you writing out a check?”
“No, it’s for the beer.”
She squinted at me and smiled. “Oh! You won’t be needing this.”  I’m pretty sure I saw everyone in line elbowing each other.
I’m thinking sensitivity training for cashiers is in order.

A rotten start

We’re composting—and finally, there is an ultra ecologically friendly place for my egg shells, apple cores, coffee grounds and banana peels. Consider yourself low maintenance? For me, happiness can be found in a pile of rotting vegetable matter.

Breathe easy, class of ’91.

The kids who were born when we were graduating are still carrying around fake ID’s. They won’t even be able to rent a car for another half a decade. So let’s put away those walking canes and bask in the pinnacle of our youth, shall we? These are our glory days, people!

There now. Your fear of old age is dwindling faster than your social security.

You’re never too old to feel like a complete dork.

As chasing after three kids somehow didn’t keep me in shape, I decided to take up swimming. Hair slicked beneath swim cap, I stopped mid-lap, gasping and clutching my sides, strained my eyes through my goggles and found the entire Simsbury High School swim team.  Suddenly I was seventeen and back in the THS parking lot, learning to drive as the football team rolled in.

Two decades later, it doesn’t get any easier.
