(for erin. from another list -- andreas) "Hey Dad," one of my kids asked the other day, "What was your favorite fast food when you were growing up?" A.A. I'm 56, and very happy to be 56. I'm always struck by how politically incorrect it is to mock and discriminate against race, sex, nearly everything, except age, even though age is the only thing absolutely everyone has in common, without exception, unless they die prematurely. I never understood why we reject ourselves that way, yet we do. It's so ass backwards.
