When he died at 79, he had one ticket on his record, and that was for parking facing the wrong way on a street.

Mom and dad traded in their '49 Ford for a VW microbus in 1958. Neither vehicle had seatbelts. Dad had many speeding tickets in the Ford, but none in the '58 VW. I'm sure the lack of HP had a lot to do with that. Heh!

Any, despite dad's sometimes aggressive driving, we survived without any accidents. Still, long trips such as vacations were stressful. With the VW, dad practiced what I later called, "Energy management." After a long, slow climb up a hill he go like hell down the other side and pass the cars that passed him while going up the hill. On the level he'd draft semi's while watching oncoming traffic closely. When a gap in the traffic was coming our way, he was on the throttle well before the traffic gap was available, slowly accelerating. Just as the gap appeared he'd zoom out into the opposing lane and sort of slingshot past the semi truck. Just barely.

I catch myself noticing, correcting and drawing attention to it myself. Hard to be embarrassed when you don't care.

You know you're old when you make an appointment with the doctor and by the time you see him something more serious than the original complaint needs attention. So when he asks why you're here you need an algorithm to come up with an answer.

When just can’t seem to get it up anymore. Thank god I’m not old yet!

Even on sitcoms you see that being portrayed as funny… not sure why. Thoughts?

I don't get what there is to be embarrassed about, 5 times out of 10 it's not like my pecker is sticking out.

You had more than one key to operate your car...

I miss push pops. You could still get them from the Schwans man about 10-15 years ago. Not sure if you still can…
