Old - Who Me?
Not too long ago, a band that my husband enjoys (INXS) performed in the city we live in. INXS has been around for a lot of years and goes back to our high school days. When the opportunity came to see the band with its new Canadian singer (JD Fortune), we decided to go.
I was a little surprised by the range of ages in people attending the concert. There were young kids, no older than about eight years old, right up to people in their forties and possibly even fifties. One of the first thoughts that crossed my mind was that there was an awful lot of OLD people at the concert.
Then a really horrific realization occured to me. That realization was that I (at almost 38 years of age) and my husband (at age 40) WERE TWO OF THE OLD PEOPLE! Now when the heck did that happen?
Sometimes I forget I'm not sixteen anymore.

Thanks Ian. It is always good to hear comments like that. Makes me feel more confident in my ability as a writer. Maybe I'll make a career out of it yet!
