Things That Make You Feel Old

Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered 37 years ago today.

I was nearing the end of my first westpac and my then wife recorded the first few episodes for me. What a homecoming!
Correction: we were coming back from a deployment to the North Pacific. That ship stayed underway more than any ship I ever served on.

When you can't sleep for more than six hours because stuff starts hurting you might be old. When your great grand nephew is showing of his kids 2nd birthday you might be old.

So yeah, being old is making me feel old.

Realizing that a good number of your favorite teachers (especially grade school) have to be dead by now

I was just thinking that the teachers taught hundreds or thousands of students in their career

Was I one of their favorites?

20, 30, 40 years later did any of them ever randomly think:

“I wonder what happened to little Optimus Prime?”

Several of my elementary school teachers were nuns in their 50s and 60s back then and I know that some have passed on.

I guess I was one of those puzzling kids. Straight-A student that enjoyed playing the dozens, kissing the girls, and telling jokes.
When it was time to give gold stars, the nuns would get to my name, sigh, shake their heads, and reluctantly stick the star on my paper. My parent-teacher conferences were interesting.

Putting on underwear yesterday after my shower, I pulled a small muscle on my inner thigh/groinular area. I didn't lose my balance or anything, it just pulled. Hurts, but I learned my lesson. No more underwear for me.
