Apparently it's never too early to think about retirment

For the past two years, I have been receiving numerous calls to join AARP.  I can sort of understand this because my father, who shares the same name as me, is in his sixties and it is conceivable that there would be some mixup regarding bulk mailing lists.  My latest solicitation from the world of "Healthy Aging," however, comes from the insurance company which provides our family with health coverage.  The letter is inviting me to attend a free community meeting to learn more about how Medica can supplement my already existing Medicare package.  In addition, they'll help me to understand the complex Medicare rules and procedures and how to get the most out of these dual health plans.

I am 37 years old and, as far as I am aware, still around thirty years away from Medicare or joining thee AARP.  Recently, I was carded.  At a a movie theater.  For an R-rated movie.  By a teenager.  Apparently, to the outside world,  I look quite young for a man of my years -- a man who is steadily descending that proverbial hill, the zenith of which I've passed over long ago.

You must be very confused.

So much so that I'm thinking about retiring.

You can join AARP at the age of 50 - only a bit more than 12 years from now. They must believe in early intervention or something because I think I started getting invitations to join when I was about your age.

I was thinking about you getting carded the other day when I was in the grocery store and had some beer in my shopping cart. The clerk asked for ID. I think they must have felt I was TOO OLD to buy beer LOL
