'Bending' the rules for aging
I had to pay a visit to the Illinois Retina Assn. in Skokie , IL this week to make sure my retinas were ok, and fortunately they are.
But before I learned that, I had to wait an hour in a sea of silver-haired seniors with canes, walkers, wheelchairs and/or care-givers.
One man, sitting across from me with his wife, reached into his pocket, took out his wallet and spilled a handful of cards beneath his chair.
Without thinking, I walked over, picked up the cards and handed them back.
"Oh, look!!" his wife cried with delight. "She can still bend!!!"
Until that moment I didn't realize I qualifed for the Olympic Gold Bending Medal.

Too hilarious, Sandy. A gold medal is on the way. Keep bending, my friend. Let others do the bowing and scraping. L from C
