ACTING OLD
Even though my body has been breaking down and making me feel old for years, I don't think that I've ever acted "old."

But I find that when it comes to going into Hollister, I start acting old.

Now, don't get me wrong, I have always been very impressed with the cool, surf atmosphere they create in their stores. They have beautiful storefronts, even in malls, and have a live camera feed of Huntington Beach.

But it's REALLY dark and crowded in there. And since the stores are always filled with teenagers, I feel like I can't get around the store without bumping into someone or something. And I always wonder how I'm supposed to look at any of the clothes with it being so dark in the store.

And the thing that's even worse than the dark atmosphere is the loud music. I mean, I have never had a problem with loud music. But it's WAY TOO LOUD there. I feel like shouting, "Turn that racket down!"

Then, I realize that I'm starting to act like a crotchety, old man. And so it begins . . .
