1) If your health is a topic of daily concern or conversation...
Thankfully no. It's actually pretty good for someone over the half century mark.

2) If you have stopped counting gray hairs...
I stopped counting a long time ago...now I just use hair color.

3) If you have lost touch with the music that the young folk listen to...
You mean that noise is supposed to be music?

4) If the music you listened to is called "Classic"...
I prefer to call it REAL music...

5) If you find the clothing of today's youth impractical or otherwise of low standard...
I never realized how silly I must have looked to my parents & other adults in the 60's.

6) If you can name more than six recent presidents in order...
I came up with 8 but I don't think the order was correct.

7) If you find that young folk call you Ma'am or Sir...
Only the polite ones.

8) If you find the daily news more interesting each year...
More depressing, but not necessarily interesting.

9) If you vote...
Sporadically.

10) And what was the other one?
Sorry, I can't remember.

I think that's 9 -- definitely geezer material here [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
