The picture of my 1971 Bend High class. Wow. Maybe in comparison I'm don't look all the much older than my average classmate.

Anyway, I was at a bookstore on the coast and there was an old guy making "old guy" jokes, and I decided then and there that I wouldn't ever, ever make "old guy" jokes. Instead of self-depreciating, they sound pathetic and demeaning.

Not that I'm going to quit taking small vacations.
