Ohhhhhh….  Middle-aged people can make me sooooooo cranky at times! Myself, I’m practically the poster child for middle-age, having attended my 30th. high school reunion a few years back, but –– Damn! –– there are some middle-aged people out there who need a serious slapping. As a case in point: while attending my 30th reunion, I ended up chatting with a former classmate who told me that it would just be a few more years before he could “spend every morning out on the golf course doing eighteen holes, and then just hang by the pool all afternoon long.” Really? That’s a goal? Seriously? Please excuse the rant...
