Hardman: Remembering the Best of Back Then

It's kind of hard to hide it.

Sometimes, it just smacks you in the face, like when the AARP magazine arrives in the mail or when you realize that something you think was just yesterday was really 30 years ago.

If you are alive, you get older each day, but sometimes the time sneaks up on you.

You see a picture of a gas station and you remember going there every day. You still go there. In the photo, gas is still in the dollar range, but when you filled up the pump this week, it was close to $4.

And you tend to spend a lot more time in the company of doctors.

Sentences start with, "You know when you are a person of certain age..."

It is like this is the next phase before you get the senior citizen discount or starting planning for the seniors' trip to the Wrentham Outlets.
