SENIOR PARACHUTE CLUB " I WONDER IF UNITED HEALTH SILVER SLIPPERS HAS THIS PROGRAM"
Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me, again, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time. "like sitting around the pool drinking wine isn't a good thing". (Talking about my "doing-something-useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation.)
She is "only thinking of me," she said, and suggested, I go down to the Senior Center and hang out with the fellas. So, I did and when I got home, decided to play a prank on her. I sent her an e-mail saying that I had joined the Senior Parachute Club.
She replied, "Are you nuts? You're 79 years-old and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?" I told her that I even had a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her. Immediately, she telephoned me and yelled, "Good grief, Dad,where are your glasses?! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club." "Oh man, am I in trouble," I said, "I signed up for five jumps a week!" The line went dead.
Life as a Senior Citizen isn't getting any easier, but sometimes it can be fun.
