Arturo, a Brave Man

[Harold Henderson]

YOUNG WHIPPERSNAP ALERT!!! PLEASE PUT YOUR THUMBS, CROSS-ARMED, IN YOUR EARS! THINGS TOO GRAPHIC FOR TENDER EARS ARE WRITTEN HERE! 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1

Arturo Carvajal. What can I say but that you're one of my heroes. You're living proof there is life after 65!

But age has it's advantages:

1. Senior citizen discounts
2. Respect. 40 somethings call you Mr. Carvajal (if they had good raising!)
3. Thrills. Young ladies run to you to open the door for you
4. Miracle of Medicine. You can take another Nexium and cram just a little more cake and ice cream in
5. Wisdom(1). You now know why no one ever told you about getting older
6. Wisdom(2). As you get older you have proof of the duality of our nature. You now know that the young mind trapped in an aging body is different from the chemical stuff of our bodies. My 91 year-old mother-in-law has one of the youngest minds I know ... and, no, this is not regression to childhood!

I could go on, but some tender ears might have not heeded the warning.

Let me close with a simple shout into the hearing trumpet: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARTURO!!


YOUNG WHIPPERSNAP ALERT!!! END

ps. Young whippersnaps, if you tried putting your right thumb in your left ear and left in right, I wouldn't admit it.
