I'm close to 50 and I still consider myself a young professional. I
also consider that my party experience of over 30 years counts for
something. You youngsters can still see your feet over your gut and
can't balance a beer on your chest while you surf the channels in a
prone position. You probably think Neil Young has always been old and
wonder why people your parents age sometimes name their dog Ringo.
These days you can actually tell where the party is being held since
the lights are on and you can see people inside. In my days, you know
where the party was being held since all the lights would be off to fool
"the man". Many parties were way out in the country where the WalMarts
and Lowes stores now stand. Those of us who survived this period in
history can now tell you about this every chance we get. Someday, you
will thank us for it...Geesh, at 30, you have only been an adult for
less than 10 years.
Roger (in Raleigh...partying, but at a slow pace.)

(Do people really pay to play ball when there are pickup games all over
the place? At least they were in 1975. Hmmm...later)
