Today Possible Flurries and I were driving with our son and nephew to a party. On the way, we learned that our nephew had never even heard of Jerry Seinfeld, and we listened to his ideas on "hippies." According to him, just about anybody that is old is a hippy, and this includes his 80 year old great grandmother, George W. Bush, and Jesus.
On the drive, we saw a sign informing us that David Spade would be performing at a local casino. "That would be fun," PF observed.
And then she came with the hammer: "We've reached the age where comedians we still think are funny are performing at local casinos."
I swore out loud realizing I am now old. As time goes on, more and more of the performers I still consider good are going to be showing all the signs of being washed up, and there's no greater sign than performing at a Minnesota casino. Recently the lady from "Mama's Family" did a show. And now David Spade, one of our favorite funny guys, is doing shows at a local casino.

I felt slightly better when, intelling this story to my aunts, one replied that casinos are changing their image to become more hip. I am pretty sure she was just trying to make me feel better, though.
