How true the words are Bob, as long as us old farts live we will still hold doors open with our bad arms even if the person comes behind us and walks through with out even a node. Us old farts do hold our Military in high esteem. My wife and I met my old working buddy of 40 years and his wife yesterday for lunch, me wearing my Army tee shirt since I have relatives in the Army. I held the first door he held the second going into the Olive Garden. It was nice reminiscing over the years busting our butts trying to make a decent living to give our kids a better life. Not all kids of today have the work ethics as we did nor the respect for their elders. Maybe some day it will turn around and doors will be held open hats will be tipped. I just so happened to have put together a four page letter to my daughter what kind of Father I know I have been to her because we don't see eye to eye. So for this Fathers Day she is getting the letter.

Hehe, I remember when I was 42 and in the hospital with my heart attack, my Sons bought me a coffee mug that read "Old Fart." At the time I didn't really like that a lot because I felt old enough after the "Big One." However, now, 23 years later,reading your post Bob, I am actually proud to be an official Old Fart, because I agree with everything said in your post.
I think I'll hold a door open for someone when we go to dinner tonight.

Yeah Pops, we've seen when you and your gang show up for dinner. SOMEONE has to hold the door......

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Bob, was that you playing the dinner music right outside the restaurant tonight? I don't think I've ever heard Wayne Newtons Greatest Hits played on the accordion quite like that before. Bravo, bravo.

Another reason this old fart doesn't like 4-wide drag racing. . .
