older

I continue getting messages that I am an older person: -- My body tells me so. -- Cars stop for me and let me cross the street. -- Younger folk hold doors open for me. -- Yes, yes, I know. You are as young as you feel and all that jazz. Eternal youth is required. Well, forget that! I am enjoying the graciousness of growing older. Mystery. New outlook. Release. Laughter at the decaying process as I move toward corpse and skeleton. Gone, darling! Gone! Already on the other side while walking here and there.

THE HORROR

Willing to endure THE HORROR of my more liberal friends, I walked over to Walmart today (a few miles from my home) and WENT INSIDE! To multiply the horror and potential scorn, I bought the WalMart brand of INSTANT COFFEE. 

It has excellent reviews on the web and costs $4.48 cents for 8 oz (a couple hundred cups?) compared to the Starbucks instant coffee I have been drinking costing $8 for 8 servings. Plus Starbucks has all that extra packaging -- a package for each serving plus the main package. 

To compound the horror, I went immediately to a chain restaurant and consumed a slab of cherry pie with ice cream. I then walked the long miles home rejoicing.
