I reached a milestone today, another step towards becoming a grumpy old man. I've hit the age where I don't care what other people think of me. Not all other people, I do care what my family and co-workers think of me but that's about it. I remember noticing , when I was much younger, that most old guys couldn't care less about their clothes as long as they fit and were comfortable. I'm there, I still like Nike stuff but just for the quality and comfort. My son got a new swimsuit, I was like "God, they're huge!...Is that what they where now?" Then suddenly I had a strong flashback to the words of a Rush song.
(Subdivisions)
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
(Subdivisions)
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Then I was back from the flashback (or would it be forward?) I guess I'll get a new one so as not to call unwanted attention to myself at the pool. Speaking of pools, is it normal for the water level to rise a foot when you get in? I'd better lay off the between meal snacks and stick to light beer. But on the other hand I always drink a few more of the light ones...
