Eighteen years may seem like a gap, but from the perspective of 68 or 86 I suppose it is not so much.

I haven't listened to The Ticket since we got our new car with satellite radio 2 years ago.

No longer are we pudgy or frumpy, we are like a ripe peach...kinda squishey.

I have to give credit to Rush Limbaugh for using the term "seasoned citizen." I don't know if he came up with it on his own or heard it somewhere.
