posted birthday greetings on my Facebook page today. I am really grateful for every message.
I know that I'm getting older. In fact, I can offer 13 reasons why I'm so convinced that age has dragged me kicking and screaming into my sixth decade.
1) When I’m asleep Mary Ann checks to see if I’m still breathing
2) My back goes out more than I do
3) I’ve stopped holding my stomach in when I go into a room
4) I’m proud of my lawncare equipment
5) My arms are too short to read the newspaper
5) I sing along with elevator music
6) I enjoy hearing about other people’s operations
7) If someone calls our house after 8:00 PM, they say, “Did I wake you?”
8) I have sent money to PBS
9) I take a metal detector to the beach
10) I can’t remember the last time I lay on my stomach on the floor to watch TV
11) My ears have more hair than my head
12) I got Direct TV so I can watch the Weather Channel
13) When we go out to eat, we go between 4-6PM to get the senior specials
You're probably wondering how old I am? Maybe this will help--do you remember the Beatles song with the lyric "Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm...?"

The number one way to tell you are getting older is when all your friends say your not getting older you are getting better.
Given the alternative I have always picked older but as I get older the alternative seems more appealing. This is especially true when you know what the alternative is.
Pardon the dangling participial.
