Some
of you young punks fine, upstanding young people might wonder if those
of us who are on in years still enjoy playing games. The answer to that is a resounding YES!! Of course, some changes might have to be made
because of our senility limited capabilities. Following are some childhood games &
today’s options, which still allow us hours of fun.
What we used to play:

Actually,
we can still lead a very full life
& are able to continue doing
many of the
things we’ve always done.
We’re very good drivers:
I have to admit doctor’s visits are a little different:
We still will play occasional harmless pranks:
We know we always
look good:
Sometimes we're not too good with children:
Many of us still
lead a very active sex life:
We are still into sports:
Unfortunately, as you get older, it can be more difficult to keep
pets:
And we have this to look forward to:
