"You Betcha..!"

The other day I was filling out a coupon for a free item entree for Panda Express restaurant, basically if you fill out a survey online next time you go and buy a two entree platter you get a third entree for free. Since free is my favorite word, and free just stimulates my senses.

I was feeling great filling out this survey and reminiscing about the great kung pao chicken, Beijing beef, shrimp with walnuts, egg rolls and an array of sensually delicious dishes. Then for the last question it asks; What is your age? I just turned 55 and to my dismay 55 and older is the highest ranking on the age chart, from now on, I am in just one category. I guess it's good news I made it to the top, but in some ways I wish there were still more ladders to climb.

The great news is many restaurants now give me a senior discount! The young high school girls look at me like I am an old man, and ask, senior discount? I say with great pride, "You Betcha'!
