Now THIS is Retirement! or, How I Tested My Heart, Blood Pressure, and Pulse Rate

I attended a Father's Day party at my Pop's retirement community today, and got more than my money's worth. Besides the BBQ ribs and cheesecake, there was also live entertainment in the form of a belly dancer. I have to admit, I was expecting a 90-year-old in a moo-moo, but I was pleasantly surprised when the shindig started. The funniest part was that while a shapely, half-naked girl was twirling in front of them, most of the old codgers weren't even aware of what was going on. They didn't even notice when she danced with a sword balanced on her head! Oh well, I guess it still beats being on oxygen in the nursing home.
