Getting older

I turned 29 on Saturday....
....and received an AARP card in the mail at my parent's address:


When I was about 8 years old,  I was very interested in cars and sent mail-in forms to receive brochures from Volvo, Ford, Chevrolet and a number of other car companies.  People from dealers would even call occasionally while I was in school and my parents would have to explain that I was actually a second-grader and wasn't really that interested in purchasing a new Taurus.  I suspect that at the time (knowing that that they wouldn't send me anything if they knew I was a child) I must have written down that the the fictional Tyler 'D' Lloyd was 29 years old, and now, some 21 years later- he's just turned 50, and I'm still waiting to buy the Volvo S70 I've always wanted.  Happy Birthday- to both of us.
