I got brought into reality just an hour ago about how old I REALLY am.
We had a big snowstorm last night, 15 inches of snow, and the roads are a nightmare. I was going down to the store this morning to pick up some things...our hill was it's usual bobsled run, and as I got to the bottom with only 100 feet of skid marks I saw an accident in the making.

I'm at a stop light that is green for me and a GMC SUV is stopped at the red light. Coming up behind this car is another, going way to fast. Oh boy, accident in the making.

Bam!!!! Rear ender. The GMC has minor damage, but the other car has its' hood up into the windshield and left front tire at some odd angle that I'm guessing its' not suppossed to be. Several of us that saw this stop and run over to see if everyone is all right. Fine...no injuries.

The sheriff's officers arrive within minutes and one of them asks who saw the accident. Doing my civic duty I said I did. The deputy calls me over to his car and jeez, it's an old boyfriend of one of our daughters.

Deputy John: "Bob, what did you see happen?"

Honest citizen Bob: "This old guy in the blue car was going way to fast for conditions. He didn't hit his brakes until it was too late."

Deputy John: "Okay, we can measure the skid marks on the ice. He's got studded tires and there's a clear path of marks on the ice. And, how come you say he's old."

Bob: "He's got gray hair and look at him.....he's old."

Deputy Smart-Ass: "He's 63 Bob. What are you? 70?"

Bob: "I'm ALMOST 70. Won't hit that magic number until April."

Deputy..now laughing: "My mother used to call everyone that had gray hair and looked old 'old', even if they were 20 years younger than her. Guess it goes with the territory."

So...how many of you out there have parents, or even yourselves, that call others your age or close to it OLD? I find myself doing it more and more. Yes, I'm almost 70 but look about 55, act like 15 and think like a 12 year old.....all according to my wife and kids.

Age is all in the mind.

Well, you know you've reached 40 when everything either hurts or it itches.

Vikes....that means your are really, really old. Do you remember Fran Tarkenton? Or my old roommate from college, Terry Dillon? Played for the Vikes for one year in the mid 60's then died in a construction accident in Missoula.

Vikes..Terry Dillon played with me for two years at Montana. He was a great running back and defensive back, (we played both ways back then) and played in the 1962 East-West Shrine Game. He was drafted by the Vikings and played one year as defensive back, then came back to Missoula to work on the construction of I-90, and fell off a bridge just west of Missoula that summer. His body was found three weeks later about 5 miles downstream.

He was engaged to a beautiful girl at the time, and I remember that I and another player from the team spent several hours with her and her parents trying our best to help her coupe with what happened.

I still think of all the times he saved me from having to punt deep in our own territory, and especially the time he told me to run on a fake punt....I scored my only collegiant TD on the play....as he noticed that the defense was always pulling all linemen out when we punted. I went 55 yards untouched on that fake.

Number 22 is in my Hall of Fame.

As for the age thing - I'm 44 now and can still work like a man in his twenties. Age is a relative thing.

I took my kids sledding a couple of weekends ago. Three times down the hill and they were ready to go home cause they were tired walking up the hill. I told them the only thing that made us go in the house was being cold.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
