The Geezer's View

I will proudly, even gleefully, answer to “Bumpkin” because there many positives buried in that term

I recently had the privilege of running into a dear lady who reminded me that I have not recently written any geezer related items. I will try to correct that herewith

Oh, the indignities we geezers have to tolerate!

Geezeritis (being a geezer) is a condition rather than a disease

The old geezer invites to search out a geezer and brace yourself for some marvelous tales

As much as we geezers enjoy telling and retelling tales of past adventures and conquests and tragedies, we sometimes are surprised by a tale of such love and caring that we get all teary eyed and have trouble finding our voices.

Since living to an old age is supposed to be our reward for taking good care of ourselves earlier in life, I wonder, “Just where the heck did I go wrong?”

Sitting on my front porch, working on perfecting my geezer act and enjoying yet another cup of coffee, I am suddenly overwhelmed with gratitude.

A visiting friend recently jarred me with a term I had never heard of before.

One of the several privileges of being a geezer is that some people seem to think that we old coots are wise.

While savoring my fourth or fifth cup of morning coffee (Boy! How I love to lead off with that), I reflect

As I sit here enjoying my geezer’s third cup of morning coffee and absorbing the tranquility that abounds here, I wonder why this area is not just frantically busy with tourists?

That I am old and out of tune with today’s world is indisputable.

Looking back at the world the way we geezers do, you’d think we have had our heads surgically removed and remounted facing rearward.

A favorite, if unavoidable, pastime of geezers is looking back.

As I walked out my front door a few evenings ago, I was stunned by another of our spectacular Arizona sunsets.

The question is sometimes asked, “What in the world do you people in Arizona see in that ugly brown desert?

The good Lord has allowed me to hang around in this world for more than three quarters of a century now, and I enjoy the freedoms of Geezerhood.
