Think Outside the Box

“Think outside the box!!” Damn, as I age it’s become……. “Stay out of the box.” It’s mind over matter. If you don’t mind…… it don’t matter. Fine wine mellows Good cheese ages……. We …. get old. Before you do something stupid check the birth date… on your drivers license. Don’t have a drivers license then you’re too young or too old……………….. to do something that stupid. If your phone rings…. Damn you really are old. When the sales clerk asks “Do you have any questions?” you ask… “What’s the capitol of South Dakota” you are old….. and still a smart ass. Any request that requires moving from your favorite chair…… elicits a “Why”. If your version of the “good old days” includes walking to school, carrying a lunch, going out to play, heating water for a bath, galoshes, or Christmas………….. GET IN THE BOX….. John G.
