The old days

SWEET: Old people. Let me clarify that -- NICE old people. Not those women in that club in Lincolnton who are stingy with the ham at the VFW's Police Officer of the Year banquet. But nice ones, for example, the 84-year-old man I met today at CVS. He told me all about his various surgeries and how they didn't stop him from chasing the nurses up and down the hall. And then when the nurses finished up with their patients, they came and hung out in his room, cause he was just that cool.

"I bet they loved you," I said.
"Oh, it was mutual," he said.

Or how about the Extension homemaker who barked at Andie when she went for a second helping at Pie Day? Or, there's the old guy I met at the bar last night who seemed to think he'd make a good dating partner.
