Yesterday my son e-mailed me again asking why I didn't do something useful with my time.
Like sitting around the pool and drinking wine is not a good thing, I said.
Talking about my "doing something useful" seems to be his favorite topic of conversation.
He was "only thinking of me" he said, and suggested I go down to the senior center and hang out with the guys.
I did this and when I got home last night I decided to teach him a lesson about staying out of my business.
I e-mailed him and told him that I had joined a parachute club.
He replied, "Are you nuts? You are 73 years old, and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?"
I told him that I even got a membership card and e-mailed a copy to him.
He immediately telephoned me, "Good grief, where are your glasses! This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."
"Oh man, I'm in trouble again; I really don't know what to do... I signed up for five jumps a week."
The line went quiet and his friend picked up the phone and said that my son had fainted.
Life as a senior citizen is not getting any easier but sometimes it can be fun.
