You Know You're Getting Old...

...when you rumble about the house (pipe in hand), muttering to yourself, "Man, I need a B.J. bad!"...and you're only talking about pipe cleaners.
And when SWMBO answers back, "Look in the third drawer, Helen Keller!"...then you realize she's getting a bit long in the tooth, as well.
Ah, well...off to Smokingpipes.

Now when I say "Man I want a piece of that..."
I am wondering if there is any pie left.

Yeah, you know when you are getting "over the hill".

Things come up and I’m old enough not to care, but just young enough that a part of me of WANTS to be “seriously offended” by it.

....when you realize all the favorites in your collection would be considered high-Bay-price estate finds.

When everything on the classic rock channel, you remember its release...

And remember thinking, "Damn, that new stuff sounds like crap!"

....when you are frantically looking for your favorite pipe for an hour only to realize it's been hanging from your jaw the whole time.

Part of the field uniform in the army is the "gas mask". It was secured by a waist strap and hung on the left side hip. An additional strap went around the leg to keep it from rotating around the waist. I found the leg strap uncomfortable and a hindrance, so I never used it.
I can not count the number of times I freaked out, "Where's my gas mask?!?", only to find it had rotated around and was hanging over my big ass, out of sight. With so much other gear hanging on the torso, it's easy to not notice.

I've looked for my glasses only to find them on my face.
