Kindred spirits

The woman looked bewildered as it was apparent that she’d forgotten where she had  parked her car.

I mentioned to her that elders in Florida put a tennis ball or bright ribbon on their antenna and she reminded me that cars don’t have antennae and haven’t for years.

As I was leaving the lot, I noticed she was about to get into her vehicle.  Opening my window, I congratulated her on her find thinking to myself that these older folks must face this challenge multiple times a week.

Later that day, I returned to the gym for some cardio work. Exiting the club after a good workout, I faced the same dilemma and walked around for five minutes until locating my car.

I was glad there weren’t any twenty something’s around to laugh at this not young any longer cowboy.
