- when the police look like teenagers.

- when everyone you meet addresses you as "Sir".

- when you look in the mirror, and the image doesn't jive with how you think of yourself.

- when you don't leave the paper without checking the obits.

- when you think of your youth, and you can remember things like Foster Hewitt doing the NHL ply-by-play, Syl Apps as the Captain of the Maple Leafs, and George Armstrong the captain of the Marlies.

- when you can also remember watching Joe Louis fight Jersey Joe Walcott, looking through a store window at a the latest new device called a television.

- when you can remember listening on the radio to Lux Family Theater, Boston Blacky and the Inner Sanctum.
that has been my life since i was like 10...

Just witnessed a squirrel getting hit by a car. Heart wrenching. Poor little guy. Why would he try to cross the street in rush hour traffic

Dude, when it hit the ten year mark, that was hard enough. That was the first CD I ever owned. Mom had a Columbia House membership and I was allowed to pick one, so Nevermind was the one.

I think we should have to be - at the very least - halfway to the grave to be complaining about being "old".

...realizing a 22 year old who is moaning about being "old" could in fact call you "dad". That's old. Friggin youngins.
