Having graduated in 1968, I forgot how it was and you had to remind me!

The say the mind is the second thing to go, I forgot what the first was.

Still have plenty of hair...kept short these days to avoid further brain drain.
Never grew pot.....tried 'killer weed' once only and felt like that's exactly it what was doing.
A new hip joint would be nice.....to feel younger so I could be impetuous
Pot belly......more like a KEG belly

Still being called to the principal's office......wife thinks I still have some lessons to learn

Actually, some things have improved.....

Like a call to the pricipal's office don't result in the cane anymore.

And the selective memory....mistaken for 'old timers'
