Don't Hang Around with Old People

That is the advice that Fredo gives and he is so right.
Yesterday, I was number l32 in line to get my flu shot and I have never seen so many seniors in one place. Some were trying to deny their years with spiked hair, cropped tops and toreador pants and others just sitting in pale and meek
submission.

I was sitting next to a gentleman, No. l30, who told me more about bull dog rescue than I ever wanted to know. It
seems that the rescue people make home visits to know if you are worthy. That is a very good idea since there are certainly people who should not ever have animals. He says that his dog has a favorite commercial and rushes to the tv to whine and watch whenever it comes on. I could only offer up Rex's superior digging skills to compete.

I was trapped in line for an hour and a half and next time will go to CVS or Walgreens for my shot, although I will miss the more colorful elderly. I admire their spirit and refusal to conform. That is, of course, because I am one of them,
albeit more conservatively dressed.
