Just another sign we're getting older

This occurred to me whilst a friend was celebrating his 40th birthday. He's the last of the "crowd" to pass that milestone. Some of us saw that mark a while ago. This friend and his wife had recently finished a major addition/renovation to their house, so once in a while one of them would disappear with a small group of people for the "nickel tour" of the addition, which includes two separate two-car garages!

It was late in the evening when I noticed that when we were younger, small groups would disappear from a party to partake of whatever illicit substance was available at the time. Later on, after we'd outgrown the illegal substances, some of us would disappear outside to have a smoke. Some of that still goes on. I'm so glad I quit. And now, here we are at "over 40" and small groups of people disappear to see the house. I haven't decided if it's pitiful or " a good thing".

sounds like you're as well as can be and reflective sometimes. hell yeah we're older - but not in The Home, not by a long shot.

Take care d00d.
