Until now, you could pretend you're not old, saying things like "I'm X years
young!", "You're only as old as you feel", "I'm still a kid at heart", etc.
But once you hit 65, nobody's buying it anymore. Kids at retail stores assume you've never seen a computer before. The teenage barista at Starbucks holds up the cups to make sure you know the difference between "small" and "large". To your own amazement, you start demanding the senior discount at the movies. You discover that the AARP magazine has some good articles in it. You start telling yourself that at least you look better than Keith Richards, while quietly acknowledging that he's actually only slightly older than you.
WELCOME TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HILL!
