compliment from a stranger
« on: September 21, 2007, 10:32:45 PM »
Wife and I were standing in a food line at a local festival, and we struck up a conversation with a couple behind us.  The talk turned to military matters.  The guy was a Korea War vet.  I mentioned that I had spent some time running ammo up and down the gun line at Yankee Station in the Gulf of Tonkin.  He said I looked too young to have been in Vietnam. 

I guess getting rid of the gray hair has some advantages...

Amen, brutha !!!

At my bartending gig the issue of age pops up every now and then.  Most folks are surprised at my age....say they would have guessed ten years younger.

Look at Paul, man....you'd never know he's pushin' 70  >:D
