me: this is a new experience - watching old people dance the electric slide to "mustang sally." at the american legion. that's right - i'm living up my friday night!
john: wow, not quite like teh friday nights we had 10 years ago, huh?
me: right? and i'm having fun. oi. please don't mention this to anyone. i don't want to sound as sad as i've apparently become... :)
john: dear, i'm off this weekend. right this moment i am removing bits of adhesive from my living room wall. party on.
me: excellent. we are sad together.
john: and apparently sad apart as well.
john: the only possible thing more sad than what i am doing right now is that an hour ago, at work, i was looking forward to it.
me: yeah... let's not share this with anyone... we have reps to uphold.
john: i hate to tell you this, dear, but these ARE our reps.
me: yeah... i just wanted to hold onto the illusion...
*sigh* it's so sad being old...
