It was inevitable, I guess. Yesterday, less than two weeks after my birthday, I received an offer to join AARP. As if to emphasize the point, dozens of "Senior Ride" buses were parked in front of my condo today. It turns out the senior buses were there to take Denver's older citizens to a Chinese New Year celebration at the Ritchie Center across the street (it is the year of the Bunny Rabbit), but you cannot deny the symbolism. My only comfort is that my friend Valarie and my sister Susan are both older than I am, and always will be. It is the little things that make us happiest in life.
