Maybe the more fit among us could play a little shuffleboard or some cards.

The dichotomy between that perception and the reality that exists here, which includes old people still doing things like having sex (and not always with one's spouse, GASP!!!), smoking pot, being politically animated, fighting, even, sadly, with disastrous consequences, creates a morbid fascination with us.

Were the involved parties of the Glenview Parking Lot killing in their 30s, and the location was a parking lot in Brooklyn (unless perhaps it was a hate crime), we'd have heard nothing about it. However since such behavior aberrates so wildly from what the pre-conceived notions are of how old people behave, it becomes "interesting" in a sick way.

I guess the best we can do is accept the way it is, and be thankful that despite our outliers, we are not the way the world perceives we should be.

Nicely put. And now about those loofahs. Swingers swap upside-down pineapples for loofahs
