You suddenly realize how old tou really are

[Music Man3]

when you find yourself calling a refrigerator an icebox

And when you remember the story your grand-pa told you about how he had a job delivering ice blocks for those iceboxes.

We actually had one of those iceboxes when I was a kid. That's what prompted my original post.

In no particular order:

- When you're in class, say "Bueller? Bueller?", and the students just give you a confused look.

- When you speak but your body makes more noise than your mouth.

- When you go for the fruit and salad instead of the pizza because you know the consequences later.

- When you hear "Let's go out." and drop your head in exhaustion.

- When after seeing all the "new languages" out there and you decide to take Prolog back up.

- When you've been adjunct faculty for so long all of your professors have since retired.

- When you fight to save a few bytes in your code but at the same time your students allocate an array of 100 4-byte integers to store 20 values from 1-10.

- When you say "Screw electric vehicles" wishing you had Street Hawk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c_-KvMTOOc).

- When your best sleep is locked doors, closed shades, your family close 'n' safe, and your cats are curled up all around you.

- When you skip that great retro computer on eBay because your medication needs to be renewed.

And lastly,

- It's Friday night and instead of partying you're posting on a C64 Forum about old age.
