A couple coworkers and I were kidding around last night. One of them wanted to show me how to "bin" (stock the overstock in storage) and I said I was too old to learn new tricks. She laughed and said, "You're only a year older than me, right?" So I told her I'd be 56 in January.

I think it's the first time in my life I've actually seen jaws drop. She didn't believe I was that old, and another coworker (male ) said he'd thought sure I was in my 40s.

Sometimes, life is good.
