Hey Fair! Hope all is well. Tree story coming?

All is well. Thanks for asking. We are running a bit late this year and will be heading out to the hinterlands of Beaver County this weekend. I will provide an account Monday or Tuesday.

In the span of an hour:

1. After ordering a latte at Starbucks while wearing a PSU jacket, the barista asked if I have a child at PSU. I told her that I went there and that I don’t have kids.

2. While checking out at the food store, the cashier asked if I am eligible for the senior citizen’s discount. I immediately said no and then asked how old one has to be for the discount. 5% discount at age 60 or older. I’m 55.

I hate time. 😞
Welcome to the party! I'm 66....

I hear when you get to a certain age, riding Septa is free!!! That being said after another trip around the sun, just stay active and keep moving.

You don't stop being active because you get old, you get old because you stop being active!!
It should be free now - Septic is horrible.

Wait til you get to where you bump into something and immediately start bleeding. We somehow go from barely bleeding after face planting while jumping a crick on a spider bike to bleeding by grazing a sharp corner w/ your arm.

At least you were on the KICKOFF return team in 1988. Why didn't you play after your freshman year?

Still no answer. Was it an injury that ended your playing career? The 88 team was actually the first losing record in Paternos head coaching career but many of those freshmen were leaders on the great 1991 team that came within 20 extra seconds in Coral Gables of playing for a natty.

Some people prefer to remain anonymous on this board. It was nine years before I myself released any personal information.

I used to have to remind grocery store clerks that I got the senior discount. Now when I remind them of it, their reply is "oh, I've done that already".
