In 16 days I'll officially be a senior citizen, according to one measure of what constitutes a senior citizen. That's the age at which a person can get a senior citizen discount in most stores and restaurants in this part of the country. Age 55.When I was a kid I always thought that a senior citizen was someone over 70 or at least retired. But, nowadays, they're putting us out to pasture a lot earlier and they're not trotting us out afterward, even if they need us. But that's not my biggest fear about being a senior citizen. My biggest fear about being a senior citizen is being house-ridden and looking forward to Home Delivery Meals as the biggest event of my day.
The demons in my life will no longer be failure and poverty and poor health but seeing this person headed my way (see pic). But then, that's not the worse case scenario. The worse case scenario would be seeing no one at my door at all.
