Having reached a venerable age, yet aspiring to be Forever Young, one notices many not so subtle changes.

One of the most obvious is having someone get up and offer a subway seat.  Another is receiving courteous “Sir” greetings.

Some would say “It’s all good” and that I earned it.

Nonetheless, there is an invidious flip side.  Too often, almost every time we are being seated in a restaurant, we are traveled to a far corner.   In actuality I don’t mind the out of the traffic and noisy tumult positioning.  That is until I gaze upon the aged countenances at the neighboring tables. Then I get it.  They want to project a youthful happening atmosphere to their target demographic clientele and although our credit cards work we don’t fit their optimal visual profile.

The next time you are seated please keep this in mind.  We could start a movement or class action.

I don’t want to be a baby, but don’t put me in the corner!
