When I was nearing retirement age I used the borrowed line “I know I’m getting old because all my fantasies have to do with money.” But I am older and wiser (I hope) and I realize even though I could always use a few dollars, money is not the most important thing in life. I have enough.
Then I said goodbye to my childhood love Cap’n Crunch Cereal and took up with Shredded Wheat and Bran, a cereal whose high fiber content better addressed my changing needs.
But even as I continue to gather years there remains fire in the furnace! Contrary to outward appearances, I am still up for a little “ooh la la” in my life. And being quite energetic first thing in the morning, I express my wild side through a threesome in my cereal bowl. I invited my secret love to dive in with us. This morning my Shredded Wheat and I were joined by my secret love, Honey Nut Cheerios!” It did not disappoint!
And to those wondering, yes, Linda was there and witnessed the entire affair. And although she did not participate or comment, I assume that the shaking of her head and rolling of her eyes was tacit approval of my new foray into breakfast debauchery.
