So, I've been battling the Age-Train like everyone else. Shit aches in the morning whether I did anything physical the day before or not. People are starting to ref to me as the "older guy" when discussing a group of friends. And, I have the urge to buy a sports car I probably can't get in and out of. Yep, all the signs are there.
I had a hall pass and decided to use it on an elegant evening in Dallas: great steak, tuxedo, Theater ticket...not tickets, ticket. I wanted to go flirt with ladies in evening dresses and disposable income. The loud nightclub scene wasn't what I had in mind. THIS eventually ended up being my first clue that I'm closer to the sunset than sunrise.
I did enjoy my dinner. Nothing beats a great steak and a well-prepared meal. Got to the Theater and made my way to my seat...great seat by the way. As the others took their seats I started to realize that I was surrounded by silver-haired elitists and ladies my own age! Oh shit!
The old bat next to me was pleasant enough. She leaned over and asked if I had come to see the performance by myself. I immediately felt old and fucking pathetic. Who the fuck goes to the theater in a tux by themselves? What the fuck? When I said, "yes" she replied with, "It's a shame that younger people don't truly appreciate the arts anymore." FUCK ME! I politely excused myself and pulled out my phone...www.ECCIE.net ASAP
I figured I could prove to myself that I still GOT IT, even at my age.
I arranged to meet with two young spinners! Yeah, that's right...tickets, not ticket! Already made that mistake...not again, my friend. We're fucking two chicks much less than half my age!
I'll post a review later, but I did learn a valuable lesson. I can still keep up with the young guns here! It may require a little blue pill and two days to recover, but I can do it. Toby Keith was right! I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was.
Thank you, BarbieSpreadumz and PlayfulPaige69, whose combined age is still less than mine! I hope the two of you have recovered from a night with this silver-haired geezer.
Takeaway
You're only as old as you let yourself feel.
I need some sleep and a vitamin pack.
