in august i got carded for being under 21 (at 53) but then last week i got let by for the sr citizen discount...i normally would have said something but ya know that 20% off did come in mighty handy...now if i can only remember what i had on & wear it every tuesday when i go into that place to get a sandwich maybe i'll get lucky again (ok their prices are really high so i don't feel that bad...the mark up is kind of steep to begin with)

in college i went with my father into nyc to get tickets for a womens basketball game at madison square garden. we stopped at the world trade center which had not been open that long. now my dad was older..he was 67 or so...i was a sophomore in college. he told the cashier he was a sr citizen & that i was under 12. i am short but not that short...& certainly don't look that young. it worked tho...grandpa & i went up to the observation deck that day.

it was interesting to see & hear his take on things as he had been born in like 1912 & what he recalled on how the streets had changed. ...from horse drawn wagons & stables and such. one of the few postive memories i have of him.
