On growing older

Rico says his old (in more ways than one) friend Tex sends these observations on growing older:
Your kids are becoming you, and you don't like them.
Going out is good, but coming home is better!
You forget names, but it's okay because other people forgot they even knew you.
You realize you're never going to be really good at anything, especially golf.
Your spouse is counting on you to remember things you don't remember.
The things you used to care to do you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore.
Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair with the television blaring than he does in bed. It's called "pre-sleep".
You tend to use more four letter words, like What? and When?
Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.
You notice that everything sold in stores is "sleeveless".
What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
Now that your husband has retired, you'd give anything if he'd find a job!
You have three sizes of clothes in your closet, two of which you will never wear.
But old is good in some things: old songs, old movies, and best of all, old friends!
