In my perception of geezerdom, this one fits -
when you would rather read the book than see the movie.

That hits home. The next to last movie I saw in the theater was "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II" when I took my son, now 32, and his buddies to the theater on his 7th birthday. The last movie I saw in the theater "Orange County" and the theater was overrun by loudly talking kids and everybody was yakking on their cell phones. No Mas.

+1 on the AARP. I love it that I still get carded when I buy beer, even at Kroger. However it has not to do with looks, it is an Indiana State Law.

I believe I started to get these recruitment packets back when I turned 40.

My sister wrote them "hey I'm only 50."

Bought some paint the other day at home depot at the self checkout. Says show the cashier your id. Wasn't necessary. I don't think she even looked.

When you don't like the kids music. Of course for me this started long before true geezerdom.
For the last 20 years your bosses have been younger than you!
I still remember the 1st time someone younger than me called me Sir. I was so startled It took me a minute to realize they were talking to me.
