A Pivotal Moment

No, I am not talking about the realization that I can enter the blog entry into the memo application while sitting in a coach seat at 30,000 feet (something I can't do with the laptop due to a lack of space) on my BB with the intent of simply pasting it into the web entry form while taxiing to the gate - although that is pretty cool...

No, I am talking about a real defining moment in my life - my first time tagged as a "senior citizen."

And no, I'm not talking about receiving an invitation to join AARP. I've been a proud card carrying member since long before I was technically eligible thanks to my dear wife being somewhat more chronologically advanced than I am.

Last week I was traveling on business in the Chattanooga, TN area. I was by myself, and decided to go to a Golden Corral for dinner. Long story short -
After reviewing my bill, I realized that I had just received my first unsolicited senior citizen discount. Did I go and protest? Heck no! Vain - not especially - I earned every grey hair on my head; cheap - absolutely - and proud of it.
