Here are a few of the signs I am rapidly becoming an old person:
1. I wake up before 7 a.m., out of choice.
2. I have seen most of Ken Burns' PBS documentaries
3. I wear velcro shoes and cardigan sweaters
4. I listen to enough NPR to intelligently debate the interview styles of Terry Gross and Steve Inskeep.
5. I schedule my weekends around NPR shows
6. Some of my favorite films involve topics as thrilling as typeface, crosswords, and scrabble
7. I am more upset about the traffic on gamedays then I am excited for the game
8. I feel I am too far behind on technology to catch up.
9. Most Saturdays, I go to the public library to pick up books on tape.
10. I eat high fiber cereal
11. I don't own a television. My favorite forms of media: the phonograph and f.m. radio.
12. Carl Cassell is my hero.
