Signs That You're Not So Old
HAL Boyle writes from New York that tests for youth exist beyond age. If you plan for tomorrow more than remember yesterday you feel younger. You enjoy Beatle jokes, want to join kids at hopscotch, and can bond with teens. You’d lend more than you can afford, buy a new suit without lamenting prices, throw away string from packages, and consider growing a mustache. You keep senior benefits but dream of better work, get things done, stay up past midnight, and see prejudices clearly. You’d pick new places on vacation, notice girls look better with age, crave new lipstick flavors, and try new foods or routes. A full moon stirs a wish to run beyond the hills, proving age is in the spirit.
