    As has happened to me recently:
    You get dressed in the morning and put on a T-shirt ..... to find: A: It fits, and B; My wife (later) tells me it's one of our son's shirts.
    Some people have opinions - The rest of us have taste.

    You know you're getting old when you find out the guy you're diving with, who retired from a career in the Koninlijke Marine more than a decade ago, is younger than you.

    ...you have a favorite burner on your stove

    ...you keep boxes because, hey, that's a nice box

    ...the first thing you do when getting home from work is put on your slippers

    ...someone says, "That was 20 years ago," and you think they're talking about the 80s

    ...you appreciate a good handrail

    ...it takes longer to rest than it did to get tired
    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
