Intimations Of Mortality

[desertrat]

1. The touts address me as "Papa"

2. A policeman takes my elbow and assists me across the road.

3. A girl on the MRT offers me her seat

4. A tout on Sukhumvit profers a catalog of coffins

5. I experiemce unaccountable happenings

6...What's next ?

You start receiving Thailand's equivalent of Saga magazine. Also sales literature for geriatric devices such as bamboo zimmer frames.

Don't worry, in the UK none of them would give up a seat for an oldie. Thailand's a much better place to put one's self out to pasture.

The 18 year old on your arm keeps looking at her watch wondering how long it'll be until your next stroke.

Have you forgotten your age yet?

See what happens when you get your lapsed NI contributions up to date?!

Apparently, I have started getting all the AARP junk mail at my Houston office. Sign o' the times I guess but at least someone remembered my 50th birthday even if it wasn't me!

The worst by far is yet to come .

When you stand at the bedside staring down at this beatifull rendition of a dream come true in your wildest fancy , then perceive your appendage hanging his head in shame .

That my friend is purgatory in your wildest nightmare .
