Old Before My Time
“You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out of here…” - Paul & John
Eight years and change. Seem like a long time?
We are old in the ways of marriage. Oh, I know that we’re not; not really, anyway. There are plenty of people around who have been married for decades. Decades! And we’re just knocking on the door of our first 10 years (it’ll be 9 in December).
But when it comes to the people we’re around mostly, we’re practically Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn (ask your parents). Not only do we have eight years under our belts, but we have two offspring (offsprings?), one of whom is actually in the second f-ing grade! We’re practically ancient.
I only drink expensive beer and/or Scotch. I smoke a pipe. My favorite concert last year was Simon and Garfunkel. I make a funny noise when I get up off the couch. I’d rather read about matchbook art than delve into a hot button political issue - reading DailyKos just makes me tired. In about a month I’ll have bought my second house!
I guess it should come as no surprise that I’m old - the oldest 28 year old on the planet. I think I’ve been old my whole life. Forgive me, Janna, for dragging you into this.
