Ring out the auld

If you invite

Marshalls & TJ Maxx

to the same holiday

party,

don’t be surprised

when they start

making inappropriate

comments about

Nordstrom’s Rack.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

3.

Sometimes

I worry about

getting old.

***

Then I remember

the 104 year old

who jumped out

of an airplane

for his birthday

***

And I realize–

It’s never too late, folks.

***

But unlike that guy,

I would advise you wear

a parachute.

  1. If you jump out of an airplane without a chute, as I’ve done more than once, though not yet on my 104th birthday, makes sure first it’s a small craft and has come to a complete stop on the grass. Wishing you and all Tref travelers first-class flights and soft landings through the New Year!

    • I get it. I have long maintained the older I get the worst my habits will become. Like, I always wanted to take up pipe smoking. Then, if, say, I am stuck on a post that is not working out, I can say, this post needs the “three pipe solution” and then I’ll sit there, rocking in my rocking chair, puffing away on the pipe, working out that problem. Who knows? Maybe I’ll even take up solving crimes. But — not until I take up smoking a pipe. Happy New Year, Old Top. Thanks for reading and commenting. I always love to hear from you.

  2. I jumped from a plane wearing a PAIR-OF-SHOES….
    With two (not just one), what could I lose?
    I survived the fall, but nearly froze my by-golly….
    Wearing nothing but shoes was the height of folly.

  3. Here in Australia, a 95 year old lady
    went skydiving with the use of a
    parachute, so the police duly came
    and tasered her. She was in control
    of a walking frame at the time, so
    apparently it was in hot pursuit 🤔🕶️

    All the best for 2024, Geo 😎
