Had dinner with my friend G last night and the young woman who was our waiter had quite striking eyes. I said to her that I hoped she would not mind if I told her that she had eyes like Lena Horne. Who? she said. I thought it was the noise in the restaurant, so I repeated more loudly, Lena Horne. She asked, Who's that?

PS. I just checked. She's still alive. 92.
PPS. I just found out (11 pm on Sunday May 9) that she has died today. Strange coincidence.

"Gettin' old, cont." is the way to go.
"Gettin' old, discontinued" can be a drag.
A superannuation awareness moment for me was recently learning that one can no longer safely expect the younger hirees at the job to read notes written in cursive.
