A long, long time ago in a place far, far away my dear friend Diane and I knew a fascinating woman. She was every bit alive and agile at ninety-three as anyone would want to be, attending political and social functions with all the vim and vigor of a woman half her age.
We'd met her through another friend, Stephen, who had this habit of introducing us to marvelous people. Anyway, she'd sit there sipping her Instant International flavored coffee, demurely dunking her Pepperidge Farm cookies into the steaming cup before making comment on the latest bit of local shenanigans.
Seeing her in action made me want to grow up to be an old woman...one with spunk and fire. I want to be at least ninety-three, still rocking to Freebird and raising hell when it needs being raised.
So for the future, for now...for Rocking On! Fifty-Five is the new Ninety-Three-and watch out, folks...I'm packing a Harley!
