Things that make you feel old

The two starting quarterbacks on Sunday Night Football were born five months before and two months after my high school graduation, respectively.

 

When your oldest kid is ready to get his learner's permit.

 

Remembering watching Gooden and Strawberry with the Lynchburg Mets.

 

The first major league game I remember going to had Henry Aaron, Eddie Matthews, Rico Carty and Joe Torre in the starting lineup.

 

My first rock concert was Nazareth at the Pacific Coliseum. The Razamanaz tour.

 

When your oldest niece and nephew are now too old and cool to dress up for Halloween.

 

That's nothing, two of my nieces have children of their own they took out for Halloween

 

Shrinkage.

 

/things that make me feel young by comparison

 

Just thinking Harold Ramis is deceased.

 

Reds came to town and Johnny Bench was a rookie and little 6 yr old qt kept yelling "Bench you should be on the bench, ha ha ha". (Ah youth)

 

I go back farther than that. I saw Strawberry hit one that broke a window in the house across the street from the baseball field at Venice High. He played for Crenshaw High, usually a basketball factory. In fact, one year Crenshaw had 25 guys in uniform for the JV basketball team. All of them thought they were going to be in the NBA.
