"It was more fun to be 20 in the 70's than it is to be 70 in the 20's"

1. Had not occured to me but it is true on many levels

Though I must admit that some things are better in my little world.

2. I'll have to...

send this to my buddy who turned 70 yesterday!

We have an unannounced game of wordplay and silly responses. He'll be amused.

I recently texted him asking if he had embarked upon a road trip he told me he'd be on a couple days earlier. Went like this:

"Did you leave for xxx today?"

"Yes. I left around 11am and the tow truck got me back home by dark."

Another odd one:

My phone rings, I see it's my friend, I answer...

"Hey, what's up?"

He says, "I have to call you back." *click*



I think we should collect these and create vignettes for comedy skits.

3. Hmmm, not so fast...I spent most of my 20's during the 70's in the USMC.

I'll have to think about this one a bit.

4. I had lots of fun on both ends, but I will say I am happier in my 70s.

I don't sweat the small stuff as much. And I know how to avoid some (what are now) obvious pitfalls.

5. I am 79 and have had a good life and glad to be there than in my 20s now.

I don't think someone in their 20s is going to have a good life when they are in their 70s.
