Maybe a double date could be arranged:

My Dear ol’ Mom had a saying in her dotage: “Old age is cruel.”
We, the younger whippersnapper generation found it humorous, and shortened it into a gag line: “O.A.I.C.” Yup, Mom; sure enough.

I agree. It is one thing if they are doing publicity or pushing something but just going about their daily business not bothering anyone?

Leave them be.

Otherwise you are being a bit creepy.

I had no idea Dick Van Dyke turned 98 though. He’s relevant to my generation thanks to ‘Diagnosis Murder’ and that doesn’t seem that long ago!?

Incredible.

That’s what I need, a much younger wife to ease me thru my twilight years and keep me out of a nursing home as I deteriorate into senility. Good for Gene. He was great in The French Connection.

Someone said something about 30 years ago and I thought, the seventies? No, the nineties. The MID nineties. And suddenly my back hurt.

Sorry Gene Hackman. Robert Duvall’s wife for the win.

You must be gen X. Boomers knew him long before that in The Dick van Dyke Show.

Yes. I did passively enjoy that show (Diagnosis Murder) and was vaguely aware of him.

That kind of longevity is rare!

The man is a national treasure. Thanks for the memories, Gene.

Speaking of Gene, a few years ago I was driving in Poughkeepsie and saw a sign that said “Welcome to Poughkeepsie” so without even thinking, I went around the block, parked near the sign, took off my shoe and sock and lifted my foot up and picked it with my fingers and took a photo. When I got home I posted it on this Gene Hackman Facebook fansite with the caption “Did you ever pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?” and I wrote “Why, yes I have” with the photo. LOL! Totally nuts, but that’s the nonsensical line he kept repeating in the French connection.
