Geezerhood

Still hanging out near Madison, Wisconsin.  The last month has been warm and very dry.  Very unusual for June.  Now for the news:

I have entered that part of life which some refer to as "geezer-hood."   Advancement to this status includes but is not limited to:

  • being of that certain age where the Social Security Administration is viewed as a positive,
  • being able to purchase a lifetime Senior Pass (for all of $10) for reduced entry and camping fees at National Parks, Corps of Engineering Campgrounds, etc., and
  • having six 2's line up on the odometer of my truck (no decimals).  
So next time when someone asks me who was that geezer in that old truck, I'll know of whom they are talking.  Or when I hear "Hey geezer, get off the road," I'll know its not the other guy who is the problem.

Oh, and Donna, being married to a geezer, is now affectionately referred to as a "geezelle" and/or a "geezette."

I wonder if there is monthly gazette for geezers.
