So I get this email from BMW dealer inviting me to the new M5 & X3 launch. They have a chain of dealerships across the country.
I RSVP for the event a couple weeks out. The evening comes along and I duly head into town looking forward to seeing the new M5.
I get to local dealer. That’s odd , front entrance has chains across. So head down a side street to rear entrance, lights out , nobody home.

I put on my reading classes and peer at phone to check invite ……. Got the right night . Unfortunately wrong city. Event in different city approximately 600 kms away. 9 hour drive according to google maps .. Doh !

That's not just an aging issue. When I was 19 years old, I showed up a month early for a Rush concert that I'd purchased tickets for.

Also, Wild America on Sunday night. Unless we were at Great grandma’s house. Then it was Lawrence Welk.

The Ed Sullivan Show was a favorite on Sunday nights.

Speaking of Early Bird specials for seniors...Wifey and I went to a restaurant here a couple of weeks ago and I ordered the walleye and fries dinner. The waiter asked if I wanted 2 or 3 walleye fillets. I said 3. When he left I asked Wifey what he was talking about, as I'd had the walleye there before and it was 3 fillets. She pointed out that the option for 2 fillets was from the senior menu.

Oy.

You know you're old if you remember this guy’s voice: Elwood Hughes Edwards Jr. He was a voice actor best known for AOL's trademark "you've got mail" greeting.

He died November 5, 2024 at 75 years old.
RIP

My buddy in high school had one. First and only push button shifter I had ever seen till the newer cars started using it.

That thing was huge and drove like a boat.

I'll bet that roomy back seat came in handy.
