Mental Ward

Lately it occurs to me how many people in the stores and streets and everywhere behave as escaped mental patients. I understand some years back many mental institutions were closed and patients integrated with the larger community. While the line between crazies and the sane has always been difficult to define, I think more and more insane people walk among us, myself excepted. Certainly, they can live free and productive lives, but all too often lose touch with their prescriptions and therapy, then are squeezed by financial restraints. Soon law enforcement has to control the lunacy level. It's bad all around.

Some days it's tough to find any sane people at all; they are easy to spot...they think just like me...

Wild Old Ladies

A co-worker of mine, a woman who might be considered older (not for her feisty nature, but let's face it, when you're a grand-ma...), related the following observation. The older a woman gets, the more likely the current sexual encounter might be her last. Hang on for your life, boys!

While SNL's "The Ladies Man" might characterize sex among older people as "yeah...That's disgusting...", the reality is everyone whether they see it coming or not, will age.

So forget those firm, porno-queen California blonde mind-candies, and go for Granny.
