Birds of a Feather I knew that my husband s hearing had deteriorated after our friend new to the city asked where he could meet some singles. Well, said my husband. I see them in the Kmart parking lot diving for fries. Dear, I intervened. Singles, not seagulls. Lawnmower Upgrade At age 70, my grandfather bought his first riding lawn mover. This thing is great, he bragged to my brother. It took me only an hour and a half to mow the lawn. It used to take your grandmother two days to do it all! Generation Gap Her class assignment was to interview an old person about his life, so my niece asked me, What was the biggest historical event that happened during your childhood? I d have the say the moonwalk, I replied. She looked disappointed. That dance was so important to you? Vital Signs She s only in her 40s, but my friend Mary has bounced back from cancer, heart problems, even a stroke. Through it all, she and her husband, Mark, have kept a sense of humor. One day she said, You know what kills me..? Smiling, Mark teased, Apparently nothing.
