Soluble Fish: A Rhetorical Question

My father turned 59 over the weekend.

Why does that make me feel old?

Disclaimer

Because we live in such a hyper-sensitive culture, I have been "asked" by people in a position to cause me economic harm to include a disclaimer on this blog. Fine. Even though I'm fairly careful not to mention specific names, I might slip sometime and invite some opportunistic lawsuit (though it seems very highly unlikely -- nobody reads this blog anyway), so I guess it is in my best interest to put this in writing:
This blog is neither sponsored by nor endorsed by my employers.
The opinions stated in this blog are mine and mine alone and do not necessarily represent the opinions of my employers, the members or board of directors of the Indiana Wind Symphony, my parents, my children, my landlord, the waiters and waitresses of restaurants I frequent, my friends, my friends' significant others, anyone else bearing the same surname as I, my doctor, my doctor's family, my health insurance provider, my neighbor's dogs, the guy who fills the vending machines at work, gas station attendants the world over, Kurt Vonnegut, Jim Tomlinson, Donald Trump, the current or any former Presidents or Vice Presidents of the United States, Condoleezza Rice, Indianapolis Colts fans, the players and staff of the Indiana Pacers, Wal-Mart greeters, or Simon Cowell.
Any facts stated in this blog are facts by merit of their being factual. I can't take any credit or blame for the way the world is made. I'll do my best not to publish as true anything that is, unbeknownst to me, false, although, because this is a personal blog, everything printed here is MY OPINION, and I reserve the right to be wrong from time to time.
