Years ago, when I could still think of myself as young, and was actually
much younger than the dust-farting contingent here in rbt, I was walking
down the boulevard on the first really nice day of Spring. The sun was
shining, the breeze was warm, the girls were wearing their summer
clothes. When what to my wandering eyes should appear than a car full
of cute Puerto Rican girls, stopped at the light just before me. They
waved and smiled flirtatiously. I mentally patted myself on the back.
Then one of them spoke. She said "Hi, sir!".

Ooof. It's been pretty much downhill ever since.

I remember the day, at the university where I was teaching, when a cute young
coed paused to hold the door open for _me_.

Ooof indeed!
