      Old Skelly Gas Station 1

      Once when I was a youngster my cousin's and I were at the local convenience store. We lived (what seemed like) pretty far out in the country so there was an assortment of snacks & 2 gas pumps & a cooler full of cold bottles of Coke. This gentleman who seemed to be ancient wearing a suit & hat responded to what must be my favorite saying; "I wish it were the weekend", with "Dont wish your life away. The older you get, the quicker it goes."
      I quickly poo-poo'ed his remark but it never left me. And MAN... was he right.
