My wife had a birthday recently. It was a number neither of us had thought much about before, and she did not approach the topic nor the day with her usual cheerfulness. As a general rule, I recommend collecting as many birthdays as possible, and will not complain about having another as long as I can continue to have them at all. As we sat outside drinking coffee, right around the crack of 8am, she began to list several things that she could no longer do. Many of those things are common to others at or near our age, like sitting on the floor and getting back up unassisted, reading anything at all without glasses, eating spicy foods without paying a painful price later, remembering anything for more than 10 minutes and picking up anything that weighs more than about 15 pounds or so without resultant back issues. I mentioned my balance seemed to grow progressively worse with each passing week, and that my eyesight at night made my driving an iffy proposition after dusk (which is a pretty good thing this time of year because 9 or 9:30 is the new midnight for us, and that I had to change one password 3 times in less than 20 minutes because I was too stubborn to write it down and kept convincing myself I would remember it. After a few minutes of this, we decided that thinking about things we couldn’t do as easily as we once could just might be the wrong way to approach the day, so we started instead to list some of the things we could do that, once upon a time, we couldn’t.
You are correct Steve. We should have played it and I have no explanation as to why we didn’t. Perhaps because the James Bond theme was a step above menial local John law.
I find I have acquired quite a few pairs of readers approaching the volume of Fred Sanford's top bureau draw, and my arms aren't quite long enough.
Recently, I started watching Adam-12 again. I loved it on Saturday afternoons as a kid (I was born a little after it started and it was in syndication by the time I was old enough to understand). Back then, I liked Reed, but now that I have matured, Malloy has the right amount of snark, optimism, and humanity. Some things age well.
Also, why did we never play the theme song to that show? I think the '85-'90 LCHS Band of Gold horn section would have nailed it!
