My wife was not home when I left for work last night. So I decided to stop at the corner grocery store to grab a sandwich or something from the deli.
I walked up to the register and she rang up my items and looked at me and said, “Are we over 55?” It took me a minute to figure out why she was asking about my age. I had no alcohol, and I know I look over 21.
So I said, “Pardon me?” To which she replied, “Today is Senior Discount Day. You look over 55, so I wanted to make sure you got your discount if you were.”
“Sigh. Yes. I am 56,” I said.
“Oh goodie,” she said, “I will get your your discount and save you some money, sir.” This woman was a tad bit too cheery for me by this time. “Ooo! You saved 47 cents! Enjoy your lunch!”
47 cents. Yippee. I can’t even get a cup of coffee for that. Now pass me my hearing aids, my heating pad and turn on Murder, She Wrote!
I'm just a guy who likes the classics. I love Old Time Radio Shows. I love Classic TV. I love Classic Movies. I love songs from the "Great American Songbook". I dig songs from the first decade of Rock and Roll. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to newer things. My musical taste ranges from Classical to Classic Rock and Country to Rap. I love a good book and am always looking for something to read. I tend to lean toward historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, and more.
I have always believed that our past (and the things we've experienced in it) make us who we are today. That being said, after reading through some old My Space blogs (yeah, that's about how long it's been since I blogged regularly), I decided that I should once again write. Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting, thought provoking, and entertaining in some way.

You’re in good company, Keith! And ‘fossil fabulous’ sounds a lot better than ‘senior citizen’… Don’t spend your 47 cents all at once!
