Some things seem irretrievable - like putting your taxes into the big-blue, yawing mail box on April 15 or sending a blog into cyberspace. Or, say, turning 60.
Turning 60 is inevitable, but its memories do not have to be irretrievable. In fact, it is turning out to be a great time to celebrate my ability to retrieve some - and hopefully, all - of my favorite memories. It is also an opportunity to record and share some of the truths, clever sayings, and wonderments of the moment - my moment - to enjoy one last toboggan ride down memory lane.
So, here are my top ten ways to know you are turning 60.
10. You discover that the right click you keep hearing is coming from your wrist and not the computer mouse.
9. Everyone sitting in a priority seat on the subway insists on giving it to you.
8. The WebMD Internet site automatically takes you to the article on shunts.
7. You’re more interested in finding the defibrillator than the exit door on an airplane.
6. You wonder if the full body scan at the airport can pick up prostate problems.
5. You calculate that the warranty on your new roof will expire after you do.
4. You fantasize that the escort dating service gives a senior discount.
3. Your birthday gifts include XXX pajamas and PG videos.
2. Your doctor casually asks if you are an organ donor.
1. You’ve considered growing medical marijuana as a second career.
I'll have more to say about toboggans in my next post.
