SENIORS MATINEE

Saturday, March 24, 2007

There were more seniors at the afternoon showing of “The Namesake” than at the Sunday afternoon singing at the convalescent home. They rattled popcorn bags, laughed at everything—even when it wasn’t funny, made comments about everything and let out great sighs when something went wrong.

I haven’t been retired long but I guess this is what you do when you retire—go to matinees.

Walking out of the theater I said to my wife, “Look at all these old people.” She said, “Yea, I see them. This is our group.”
