Last Saturday I had to go to the local electronics store to pick up some cables for my computer. My usual tech had been "laid off" and in his place was this girl who considered herself to be an expert. Never mind the guy they laid off had 20 years...

My children sometimes think I came from another planet. I have always kept young by refusing to act like an old person – okay to be correct I should say older person. However, I would like to know why at age 70 do I have to be politically correct...
