As yesterday was my 65th birthday I am now solidly in the ranks of the senior citizens or as I insist “seasoned citizens. This morning I was exposed to my future. I am sitting in a Panera’s Bakery (for those unfamiliar they are more than a bakery, they offer breakfast, lunch, Internet etc.). An older couple just walked in, the women to the counter and the man to a table. I glance over and notice he has walked in with a Panera coffee cup which his slyly had hidden in his hat. :sneaky:
As the women comes from the counter with a muffin and empty coffee cup to fill he moves from the table and fills his contraband cup as well. Is he cheap, a crook, senile or just, well a seasoned citizen? God help me. :rolleyes:
The irony is that at Panera’s the refills are free so you can drink as much as you want, which of course I do each morning, but heck I do buy a new cup each day. :wah:

the couple sounded like my parents. Children of the depression era. Every day for lunch. they went to Burger King. Because they had senior coffee. They were wonderful parents. That gave up a lot for me and mine, The environment you grew up in has a lot to do with your whole person.

A very happy birthday to you Quinn.
As a new "seasoned citizen" how do you plan to spice up your life?
