Ah, yes, one of the few percs of aging, whether we do it gracefully or not. What I do in similar situations is I give them my ID to prove that I am in fact over 65, but then I clarify it by stating, “I’m really only 30-something, but my knees believe my drivers license.”
Good one. Glad you’re not behind bars this morning. Er, in jail, I mean, not lying in an alley someplace with a hangover.

Wanda-ful! Being terrible at maths and being born in ’59 do not go well together. So I age in sets of 5 (last year it was easy, as it is every ten years, to remember how old I really am). So; I have been 50 for the last 5 years. As from this year, I will be 55 for the next 5. Ought I to be insulted when, at the beginning of the batch, no one says “I don’t look it”?
Wanda, you and Janet have inspired me. I bought the two websites two years ago and have made valiant attempts to make them be websites. But something is not ‘clicking’. I cannot believe I am so dense at this. I am in Who’s Who, 1979, for my accomplishments, but I cannot get it right about understanding this whole publishing, website, blog thing. It mystifies me. But the darling story above and Janet’s linked story on her blog have given me inspiration to try, try again. Thanks, Guys!
