There are days I feel young, and there are days I feel old. Today is a gorgeous Memorial Day, and I've got a bit o'juice flowin.' Been up early and went food shopping for a coupla racks of big honkin'poke spareribs that I'm gonna BBQ up on the grill for some friends this evening. The yard's starting to look decent, thanks mostly to my works-like-an-ant wife, and I even have some grass growing in my yard.

As for old-versus-young days, I think age is mainly a state of Mind that can vary from day to day, or even situation to situation.

I've always wondered why older guys marry younger women. Marry, not date, mind you. I can see the obvious attraction to  the tight smoothness of some young workout hottie, but for the life of me, I don't understand when these geezers with these trophy wives say,”She keeps me young.” Bullshit. Nothing makes me feel older than being the lone 40-something in a room of 20-somethings.While I am reasonably up on Youth Culture, the fact is that in That Crowd, I will always be The Old Guy (hopefully, though, the Old Cool Guy).

No, if you wanna feel young, go to dinner at a restaurant for the Early-bird Special at 5 in the afternoon. I took my 92-year-old dad out for dinner a while back, and I swear I was the youngest customer there by 20+ years. Hell, we were home by 6:45! And we had dessert!

So if you want to feel young, hang out with Old People. If you're a woman and you're feeling bloated this fine day, call your size-14 friend and invite her over. You'll feel like Kate Moss by sundown.
