#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#UL#ed_cl##ed_op#LI#ed_cl#You've come to the annoying realization that your parents were right about almost everything. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#A gardener cuts your grass even though you have a brand-new lawn mower in the garage. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#Now that you can afford front-row seat at a rock concert you can't imagine why anyone would want to be there. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#Your baby pictures are in black and white. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#Your prescriptions refill number is programmed into your "speed dial." #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#You have Christmas cards in the mail by December 1st. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#You've stopped worrying about hair loss and started worrying about memory loss. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#You own more electrical appliances than there are outlets in your home. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#You've named your eyeglasses by the activity they permit you to do. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#Some of your mortgage payment actually goes against the principal. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#You have more frequent-flier mileage than mileage on your car. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#You vividly remember the day the price of gas went over one dollar a gallon. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#You're looking for a new home with the master bedroom on the first floor. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#The waitress at Denny's points out the "senior specials" in the big print on the back of the menu. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#Your tattoos have folds. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#You have trouble falling asleep at night in a dark room and a comfortable bed, but can easily nod off any afternoon while driving seventy miles an hour on the freeway. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#You remember having to get up and walk across the room to change channels on a television set. #ed_op#LI#ed_cl#Your computer has more memory than you do. #ed_op#/LI#ed_cl##ed_op#/UL#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#Ok, that is enough of that - now I am depressed!#ed_op#BR#ed_cl##ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
I lift my margarita and drink a salute to Marty, Quarter Horse Extraordinaire, Most Pleasant Packer, Companion To The End. May his suffering be little, his passing be easy and may we find each other again, drawn by love and kindred spirit.
