Children: Please To Be Leaving The Internet Now

There's nothing that makes me feel old quite like learning that "The Wrath of Khan," a movie I saw in the theater the day it came out and then saw several more times in the theater that summer, is now 40 years old. https://t.co/MSJFeC1RTi

Feh. "Star Wars" came out the year I married. We saw it 3 times that summer because we were in a small town in East Texas with little else to do.

That was 45 years ago.

You don’t know the meaning of “old,” buddy!

25 years ago today.

Methinks we’re getting old, Class of 1997… pic.twitter.com/YcnwfPwDqK

Can we just have a rule that you can’t whinge about “old age” on-line until you are at least 70?

Or just ban men from doing it at all? ‘Cause that would shut it down entirely.

“Class of 1997”? My daughter was already 5 years old. I’d already been married for 20 years. I already had my college degree and my three post-graduate degrees (for all the good they did me). I was starting my third  (ill fated as well) career. High school Class of ‘73, ya punk whippersnapper!
