You know you're getting older when they no longer ask if you qualify for the senior discount...they just give it to you.

You know you're getting older when that cute young girl at work calls you 'dapper' and compares you to her father.

You know you're getting older when you realize that it's no accomplishment to be young; anyone can do it! To get from 'young' to 'old' requires hard work, brains, and a little luck.

I'm well on my way, and in my shoebox of life, I have a great wife, offspring, memories, scars, trophies, and bills to mark my passage.

I can do now, anything worthwhile that I could do then. It just takes a little longer to recover.

I figured out I was getting old. because I don't bounce as well as I used to, it takes longer to heal up, and uh, uh, I don't remember the last one.

You must be old enough to have kids if you think this is funny:

I know what you mean about that!

I hate it when my brain tells my legs to do something....and my legs do....too slowly...but by then they should be setting up for the next turn.......Ummmph!....Lets see....I don't think I broke anything....Hope nobody I know saw that!

BTW, I highly recommend Turks & Caicos to anyone looking for a new place to dive. It was over-the-top awesome.

I got my PADI in 1979, so I guess that would confirm I'm only middle-age then!

The last time I went to look for it was 8 years ago, in the Bahamas (pleasure cruise port of call) and couldn't find it. I had no idea you could call. So I spent the day snorkeling with the kids. Still had a great time, and I was amazed at how quickly my lungs and ears adjusted. Didn't much appreciate the sunburn I wound up with. Too shallow to filter out the Sun's UV and I didn't wear a shirt.

I dunno, but my wife recently told me I'm "pretty spry".

All you youngsters!!! You only think you are old! My first PADI card is 1983 - but I got that one to replace the card I was using before - it was no longer accepted. It was dated 1958.


A real antique :-)


You are only as young as you feel,

Jerry
