One thing that hit me was that I was really excited about going the Running store - and not to the Best Buy that was there. A few years ago I would have been all over the Best Buy. I have definitely turned a corner.
When I went to check out with the GU, the person working there asked if I wanted to be put on their email mailing list. I gave her my email address - mikefox85 at gmail - and she asked if that was when I was born. I said, "Yes, that's my birthday," and her response was, "Oh, one of my sons was born in '85 as well." I thought about that for a moment and then it hit me - she thought that the 85 in my email address was the YEAR I was born - not my birthday - 08/05. I thanked her for thinking I was still that young, but then clarified that 85 was for August 5 - not 1985...
