tonyd285 Posted January 26, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 26, 2020 My beautiful blonde and I were on the Infinity earlier this month. Sitting in the Sky Observation Lounge during the Elite cocktail time.the recorded music played a song and she asked "that sounds familiar." Without even thinking i replied "that's the Glenn Miller Orchestra playing Perfidia." At that moment I knew I was really old. I guess that's why we now seem to prefer cruises to other vacation 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny01 Posted January 26, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I’m not exactly young at 74, but I’ll vote on the great 60’s (and 50’s) music. Not into Glenn Miller and the 40’s...I do enjoy the Jazz of that period and love more modern classic jazz......and I’m well aware I don’t need to love Glenn Miller to know I’m old - Just notice how many young woman (and men) call you ‘sir’ or ‘mam’ ......that’s very telling. And on vacation? No more flying to Europe on cheap air in the back section (I upgrade to at least Comfort Plus-type); no more throwing a chunk of cheese and bread and a bottle of wine into my backpack and jumping on a train and going wherever (I need to have plans set, reservations made and hotel picked); no more hiking into the great wilderness and sleeping on the ground (I can hike into the ‘wilderness’ but there has to a nice Inn at the end-I’d need more than a bit of help getting up after Trying to sleep on the miserable ground!). Enough. Love hanging with younger people and trying not to do the ‘back in the good ole days’ and try to listen to what is reality now. By the way, when I hear about “back in the good ole days”, I tell that person I get to pick who they’d be, and where they’d live and it wouldn’t be living next door to Beaver Cleaver (that aged me right there) and they might not consider it the ‘good ole days’.

Ya ya gotta work at it a little more but it's well worth it. My mother is going on 94 and you would never know it. When I grow up I want to be like her. Every year she sets the bar higher.
