This Years Theme: Erins Horn of Plenty Acton/Georgetown, Friday, October 3, 2008 7 Not long ago, while attending an event, I chat- ted with a group of young people. In this case, the young un I spoke to was about the same age as my daughters in fact, she attended school with one of them. The conversation led to reminiscing about when my daughters were young and enjoying activities in school. You know Mr. Brown, its funny, one of them said to me, That was years ago, but I still feel the same way about a lot of things. I know Ive matured, but I find my interests and outlook really havent changed very much. I told her to tack three decades onto her age and shed be the same as me, and I still look at life pretty much the same way as when I was young, with the same basic interests and values. And I also told her that I didnt really expect that to ever change much. Later, as I thought about that conversation, I realized how much I do cling to the same likes and dislikes that I had back then. I like the same foods, I become irritated about the same social issues and I find comfort in the same thoughts. I enjoy the same music. I go to a cruise night, and smile to myself as fond memories flash through my head while I admire the old muscle cars that were popular when I was in my early 20s. What has changed, I find, is that Im more mellow about things that once tore me apart. Ive learned they simply aren't worth the effort. I thought about passing that half-century mile- stone a few years back, a time when people turn- ing 50 discover a new food group. Its called Tylenol. I thought about those physical things that get to me the mind is willing, but the body aint. I now find that being over 50, (and actually staring 60 in the face in a few years) that Ive come to realize some activities are better left for a younger person to look after. You know, silly things, like lifting something that was quite light 20 years ago, but now makes every sinew in my back scream out in protest. Or God forbid, physically trying to keep the pace with younger people, at work, or at play. I call these activities Tylenol events. Taking it a step further, I now go so far as to identify them in degrees, like a one Tylenol job, two Tylenol job, three Tylenol job... and so on, right up to the grand daddy Tylenol 3. In 1984, Bruce Springsteen released a great rock n roll song entitled Glory Days. In it he tells of reliving those past glories of our youth, over and over again. Naturally, Springsteen failed to mention the Tylenol part. Of course, that was 24 years ago, so he, like everyone else that age, probably hadnt discov- ered the Tylenol food group yet. I know we all reminisce about days gone by, and enjoy those funny and precious moments again and again thats human nature. But now, when I hear Springsteen wail out Glory Days on the radio, I find I mentally change the title a bit, just to reflect my age. Its now Glory Days and Tylenol Nights.
