Getting old is something most of us will face and most of us would choose to face. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some fears along the way and I have many that date back to my childhood. In my lifetime, the whole idea of getting old has been somewhat re-defined by my generation – the baby boomers. Now, sixty is the new fifty, and seventy is the new sixty, and so on. Like most things we boomers do, it’s foolish and, in this case, just a form of denial.

When our ship arrived at Madagascar, we were met by a lot of canoes. People were selling fruit and vegetables. They brought their families for more attention and sales “appeal.” It was heartbreaking to realize how little they had, how hard their lives must be, and how tragic most of Africa truly is. Yet, they seemed content and happy in their own ways…
That’s my dad, deceased nearly a decade, lifting a home-made 100-pound dumb-bell. He was my hero in the most simple ways. This Thursday May 29, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET, let’s celebrate Father’s Day a bit early with OUR fav Dad Moments, whether they be OF our dad or AS a dad.
I know I’m old when I really get nostalgic about so many things. Top of the list is good customer service. Yes, I remember when uniformed gas station attendants cheerfully came out and offered to fill your tank, check your oil and tire pressure, AND clean your windshield. Yes, I remember going into a shoe store where a man in a suit would come out and offer to help. AND, he actually was a professional who knew all about EVERY shoe in the store and took pride in being a GREAT shoe salesman.
The list goes on and on. Today it’s slightly different.
