There's no way you're 63, Ron.
My Dad's 57 and he looks 10 years older than you!
But ... does your Dad wear a kilt ???
If not maybe that's the reason.
CT - dang, that's my age group Ron, I gotta come out for that balloon fest.

Ron - I've got you beat by one year! But age is only a state of mind, and one of these days I'm going to grow up (but not too soon). Like Stan, I believe that 60 is the new 40. I also hate the term "retired", my preferred term for those of us who have left the ranks of the employed is "renaissance".

A young blond lady made a beeline for me and said, "Where's your bagpipes?" I said, "Under my kilt lass - you wanna see them?" She said "No thank you." Was a fun exchange, not a rude one.
Another lady buttonholed me and wanted to know if I was wearing a "traditional kilt." Told her yes, it was a traditional hand sewn eight yard wool kilt. She said, "Not that kind of traditional." Point apparently was that her boyfriend dressed up for Halloween as a Scottish warrior but would not wear his Halloween kilt in the traditional manner. Told her sorry, can't help with him. I said, ya know, if I asked a lady if she was wearing underwear under her skirt I'd be arrested. She said, "Why? If you asked me I'd tell you. And tonight I am wearing underwear." But she said it as if she doesn't always...
I'd guess all these ladies were in their 30s or 40s which is "young" for me and a great compliment.
There were more passing "I love your kilt" comments from the even younger ladies.

I'm not quite 62 yet, but I do appreciate being appreciated. Kilts are chick-magnets.
