The Power of the Greystache

So we stopped at Pizza Hut on the way home since we figure it will be a long while before we get to go anywhere what with work, price of gas and price of everything and I go to pay the bill of $17.35. I give the guy a $20.00 and he gives me $6.00 +change back. What????? I'm not any good at math but I realize the guy is givng me back too much change. "I think you've given me too much change back," I say. "I gave you the senior citizen discount," he said. I was almost insulted by being taken for a senior citizen until I realized he must have been taking into account my husband's grey beard and mustache. I know I would NEVER be mistaken for a senior citizen:)

At 56 - in someplaces you are! Ken & Pete have a great story of getting Senior status on the boat ride at the 2005 Reunion. Of course they were with their 79 year old mother.

YUP, they let the three of us on that craft!

I think I have a picture of Mom somewhere from that trip. We set up near the bow where all the spray was -- great fun!

Hey *I* got asked if I wanted the Senior discount at Wendy's a couple of years ago! Of course I did have a lot of white in the goatee I was sporting!
