Hail Gilthalion,
* bows a greeting *
I suppose I qualify for your guild of elders.
YOU MAY BELONG TO THE GERIATRIC CLUB IF:
1) If your health is a topic of daily concern or conversation...
MY REPLY:
Though I've been known to lean upon a staff whilst I walk, the passage of years has taken but a light toll ... though the years have passed, all the same. Is it conceivable then that I might be considered younger than a tweenager in ill health? * ponders, lights a fresh bowl of Old Toby *
2) If you have stopped counting gray hairs...
MY REPLY:
What would I be, if not Grey? * laughs heartily *
3) If you have lost touch with the music that the young folk listen to...
MY REPLY:
Indeed, and what music would that be? Don't they still dance the springle-ring in the Shire?
4) If the music you listened to is called "Classic"...
MY REPLY:
"The Music." Instant Classic, right from the start! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] * longs for the West *
5) If you find the clothing of today's youth impractical or otherwise of low standard...
MY REPLY:
Nothing beats my trusty cloak for warmth and durability, thank you!
6) If you can name more than six recent presidents in order...
MY REPLY:
* nods *
7) If you find that young folk call you Ma'am or Sir...
MY REPLY:
And if in turn I find myself calling them "young whippersnappers?" * good-natured grin *
8) If you find the daily news more interesting each year...
MY REPLY:
Having always maintained curiosity for tidings from every far-flung corner of Arda, indeed I happily wish to still consider myself an eager student of this lore.
9) If you vote...
MY REPLY:
For what it's been worth, I've put forth my views before the White Council.
10) And what was the other one?
MY REPLY:
Whatever it was, this was not it! Go ask an Ent, if you seek a quicker answer. * grins with gentle mischief *
At your Service,
Gandalf the Grey
