The photo that made me scared of growing old.

I just tried finding a link for a photo of Ron and Nancy Reagan going swimming that made me truly fear the onset of old-age when I first saw it in the paper 20 years ago.

I found the picture, at the bottom of this page:

I wish I could have found a link that'd just take you right to the picture, but I'm not enough of a cut-and-paste genius to know how to do it.

Admittedly, it doesn't phase me nearly as much now, but at the time...wauugh - I couldn't finish my pancakes.

We all get fugly when we get that old.

Just hope that you have someone who loves you that much when you do get that old and helpless.

I can't see Hillary helping Bill around when he gets that old. He'll be lucky if she doesn't hold a pillow down tight around his face when he's sleeping.

I think that's the real reason Hillary wants to be President. Conservatives have the idea that she wants to shaft them, but that's not it. Liberals think she'll be the Second Coming, but that's not it (ok, bad choice of words).

But, she'll be able to kill him, and then pardon herself.
