Oh, Jerry. Good stuff also happens after you are 50.
Some people just want to argue. Maybe at least one of them is the sort who always has to have the last word. Cuz he won't shut up.

Hind sight is definitely 20/20.

I have all that at 37! Well, I'm not totally gray, but I have a few!
My kids are rocking out to the playlist from my class reunion.
Classic Rock from the late '70's and early '80's or what sirius XM likes to call second generation classic rock or Cassette Tape Rock.

I stopped into a local guitar store today, to check out their ukes. I've never been blown away by their selection, but I had the time, so...
They had quite a few by a company called Ventura, and guitars by them, as well. I've never heard of them. They had some Makalas, and a couple of Lanikais. Everything seemed to be targeting the lower end of the market, until I noticed that they are now carrying Eastmans, too.
Then I saw a vintage uke, hanging high on the wall. At first it looked like a Martin taropatch (be still, my heart!), but I discovered it is a vintage tiple. They claim it is Martin-made, although the name on it is different (Smith, maybe?). It did look very Martin-esque.
I was surprised to find that it was reasonably well tuned. (Yes, I got it down. Hanging it high on the wall doesn't dissuade everybody
) I liked it. With the steel strings, I think I would probably play it with a guitar pick. At $600, it's too rich for my blood, though....

What store?

No, I don't see what you're getting at. The prom is a formal and chaperoned event. In a month she'll be hanging at the beach or the pool; wearing a good deal less in a far less structured environment. I'm with Gary on this one. A great dress and a young lady who obviously had the spirit to wear it well.

I've had grey hair since my 30's and glasses since I was a tyke. If those are your biggest complaints, you lead a charmed life, little girl.
My goatee is almost entirely grey now.
Starting to spread north
Just wait until it spreads south.
I'm actually finding the 60s more agreeable than the 50s. My sons are far more independent, retirement is just appearing over the horizon. I'm OK with this. My lady wife, by contrast is not happy with the 60s. She's blown out a knee, has issues with her eyes, her shoulder, and both her hands. The knee is disabling and will be repaired in a couple of weeks. The rest? Deferred maintenance.

Shave the goatee, you hipster doofus.
