Elderly

Elderly. Well it's official. According to the news report yesterday, I will be considered elderly in ten years. Apparently if you are in your late sixties you've crossed over into the elderly range. Who knew? You see I was kind of thinking it would start happening around the back half of eighty; maybe even ninety? What happened to all that age is just a number, and sixty is the new forty stuff? Was that just a bunch of rhetoric recited by people over sixty in an attempt to remain relevant. Nothing like a little runaway alliteration to prove a point. After all, we do look to our media for the definitive word about most everything. What do you bet that newscaster was nowhere near 40? So to correct him, it appears a baby boomer was rescued. I sure hope they rescued his golf clubs as well!
