I found some of the following one-liners on a website the other day and I thought I’d share them with you. I think it won’t be too long before some of them start applying to me!
- Your sweetie says, “Let’s go upstairs and make whoopee” and you answer “Pick one, I can’t do both!”
- You are getting a little action today – but that means the fiber is working.
- You think an “all-nighter” is not having to get up to pee.
- Your friends compliment you on your alligator shoes, but you’re barefoot.
- You stop lying about your age and you start bragging about it.
- You can live without sex but not without your glasses.
- You think “getting lucky” means you find your car in the parking lot.
- You point out what buildings used to be where.
- A sexy woman walks by and your pacemaker opens the garage door.
- You’re not grouchy; you just don’t like traffic, waiting, crowds, and politicians.
- You’re wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that’s just your left leg.
- Everything either dries up or leaks.
- You realize that aging is not for wimps.
- You write thank you notes without being told.
- You answer a question with, “Because I said so!”
- You wear black socks with sandals.
As I noted in a previous post, we spent some vacation time in Washington, D.C. If you’re willing to drive a short distance from D.C., there are many other places to explore. One side trip we took was to Annapolis, Md. It’s only about 30 miles or so from Bethesda. We met some old friends of ours from Monterey, CA who live in the Annapolis area. We spent a little time with them and walked around the shops and sites in the downtown area. We had a nice lunch at Pusser’s Restaurant (photo on left). It had a great view of the Annapolis waterfront. Of course you can’t go to Annapolis without also visiting the United States Naval Academy. Fred and Cindy gave us a nice tour and we spent a little time in the Academy gift shop. I spent a few weeks myself at the Naval Academy back in the early 80s, but it was so long ago that I didn’t remember too much of it.
One final place we visited on our last day in Bethesda was the Georgetown Cupcake shop (photo on left). This is the store that is featured in the television series, DC Cupcake. I didn’t know that at the time, but my wife and daughter sure did. Normally, there is a long line of people waiting just to get in the door. Fortunately, this was a Monday afternoon and we were able to walk right in. As small as they are, those little suckers are expensive! $2.75 apiece or $29/dozen. We bought a few and took them back to our hotel room and indulged ourselves. We definitely had a great time seeing our daughter and visiting the sites. The time just flew by. The next day we were headed home and made it back in about 10 hours.
