I admit it; I'm vain, yet. Although I have no earthly reason to be, anymore.

Maybe this is "oversharing", but I shave with my cordless electric razor, while sitting on the toilet (top down), eyes shut, humming one of my favorite shaving ditties.

Garrison Keillor, in his radio monologues likes to talk about Minnesota bachelor farmers and their sometimes strange behaviors. Some of those behaviors don't seem so strange to me anymore. Without a woman in the house to keep you on a more conventional course, it is easy to go slightly adrift.

Well, Doug, since you've already veered significantly from the straight and narrow, how about telling us what some of those favorite shaving ditties are? Like "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain"---now that would work and your chin could be the mountain! It seems like you could get carried away and injure yourself---I was thinking "Oklahoma" and the shaver could be the wind sweeping down the plain of your whiskers, but a person might get over-enthusiastic and end up without a chin or something.

I could never get those damned e-shavers to work for me. I would still feel like I hadn't shaved. Give me a single-blade safety razor still.

I felt that I was getting old the first time I got into an elevator and heard an easy-listening arrangement of a Beatles song on the Muzak.


Now I KNOW I'm getting older every time I get up from a chair!!

You sure that wasn't the Beatles' version of 'Yesterday'?

You Know You're Gettin' Old When...you stayed up until 2am on St. Patrick's Day, then up early next morning to go to work, and you look in the mirror, and realize you look just the same as if you'd gotten a good night's sleep.
