| I'm Old
	So there I am sitting in the Doctor's 
	office looking at the homemaking magazine, pictures only. I can't read about 
	how to restore my deck to it's old brilliance because I left my reading 
	glasses in the car. Then the cute, I think, receptionist asks me, "do you 
	surf"? Not only do I surf but I climb mountains and drive race cars!!! I 
	sink to the truth and say "I used to", thinking that she remembers me from 
	out in the lineup some 15 foot day at Steamers Lane back several years. Then 
	she says, "you probably know my dad".
