You know you're getting old when you have more doctors appointments than fun stuff to do written on your calendar. I still use a paper calendar. I guess that makes me old.

Julie Andrews was pitch perfect. I know I am old. When my daughter was about 5, she would crawl up the steps at bedtime (there was an addition in my parents' home) and sing "So Long, Farewell."
