You know, the funny thing is that at that age one wasn't afraid of their neighborhood (at least I wasn't then). I will say, I wouldn't dare going back today.

When you go to the pharmacy and they hold up your prescription when you walk in the door...

I don't want to make assumptions about where I grew up as I haven't been back since 1970. But my hometown did make headlines and not in a peaceful way. Ferguson MO. Riots within a mile of my childhood home.

When your local pharmacist was the town gossip.
When for some it was best to have a friend buy their condoms at the pharmacy!

When you're in line at the pharmacy, and the clerk asks the person behind you in line to come up first because it's going to take them two hours to bag up all of your refills.....

When you get home from the pharmacy, and find a two-minute-old email that you have another batch of refills ready for pickup (true story)!!!!!

Ours was different. No one would go there when I lived there, and still won't today. It's always had a bad reputation.

But back then....if you lived there long enough....you were accepted. I lived there 11 years. As long as I minded my own business, I was fine.

For the past few months, I've found that after I actually get 8 hours of sleep, I need a nap afterwards.

I live in a 55+ community with 2 golf courses. We have the daily "triathlon".

Golf
Lunch
Nap

The government approved monthly quantity seems quite optimistic for a 54 yo. I have enough to last the rest of my life and they just keep sending more. Quite demoralizing.

That sounds like a great daily schedule! I'm a firm believer that society would be a better place if we could all have a nap after lunch.

Wait, I'm a 1%-er????

On this whole neighborhood thing: I live in 'da Hood and yet have zero issues walking to the corner store, even after dark. There are 2 other white dudes I know of in our 3 streets. No locks are actually used on my doors.

Honestly, you're probably safer in the hood right now than anywhere else.

It's even worse when the person you're speaking to is 40.

When the gist of your conversations are your last procedure, from your doctor, and most of your conversations are about your grandkids. And don't pull out the pictures everyone wants to see.

NOT!
