Live Well

Ouch. I don't like this. I'm starting to get mail from Senior Villages.

The brochures are filled with happy-looking old people. Is that me in one of the pictures?

Some of the copy scares me:

"Each spacious, private apartment is designed for the safety, ease and enjoyment of our residents. We feature senior-friendly bathrooms..."

"Our affiliation with H*** Hospital can make the transition from independent living to our continuum of care should your needs increase..."

And then I turn to another piece of junk mail - and lo and behold - it's from a cemetery.

Man - I think I'm a goner.

I have not minded getting old - but I certainly don't want to be surrounded by other old folks. I think I need a mix of kids and very ancient people around me. Certainly not my contemporaries.

Anyway - I need to check on when the crazy New York Halloween parade is. That was one of the reasons I was experimenting with pushing Tri-x.
