I remember it well. Geeez geezer we must both be ancient

(Without wishing to teach a fellow grandparent the art of egg sucking and to avoid being lost in translation, that is geezer with a hard ‘g’.)

tiptoeing through the tulips??

Geezers we may be, but to quote Dickens:
"It was the best of times; It was the worst of times"
But it was my time and I would never want to change that.

I never "tip-toed thru the tulips" but I remember my Ol' Lady gettin' a baaad case of poison oak on her ass and...well...uh...from rollin' around in the forest (i'm immune)...was she ever upset!
I agree with Dickens and you, KKCap!
