Where is Papa's Phone?

Papa can't find his phone. It rings, but it's not in his pockets. It's not in his car. When he walks away, no one can hear the ringing, so it must be on him somewhere. Can all the assembled family members help him find it? The best part of this video is his sense of humor about the whole thing. The mystery will be solved by the end of this video.

I Can't Hear You

This was me until a few weeks ago, when I got my hearing aids. Now I hear my clothes making noise, and clock ticking two rooms away. (via Bits and Pieces)

Retirement Plan

Everyone has things they want to do, when they have the time, when they retire. It's funny how you spend 50 years working for money and taking care of your family, and then when you get some time to yourself, you just aren't able to do all those things anymore. Or you realize you should have done those things 50 years ago. But we still have our plans. 

John Kelly made a short film that is poetic, funny, devastating, optimistic, wistful, and sad all at the same time. It has been shortlisted for an Oscar. (via Nag on the Lake)

Lyrics

Something came up in conversation just a few days ago, and I explained that I can't be expected to remember something for a whole week because my brain is full and I can't find room for more. The problem is that what's stored in there is 95% song lyrics. (Thanks, WTM!)

Stamps

Spoiler: no, they won't. From Married to the Sea.

Thank God I'm Old

A tap dancing class fro the Central Scotland Ballet School perform a dance to the song "Thank God I'm Old" from the musical Barnum. This class ranges from 30 to 70 years old. 

Nap

Nothing to brag about, but this is real life. It just happens. The older I get, the earlier I wake, and I don't really want that. I wake up a lot during the night, but my rule is to not turn the coffee on until at least 4AM. (via Slow Robot)

Hanging Out With Your Old High School Crew

It's easy to make friends when you're a kid. It just sort of happens when you spent all day every day together in school. Twenty years after high school, you've become your own person, and you have nothing in common with any of those people. That's exactly why I've never been to a high school reunion. But I'm going to my 50th class reunion this fall. It's only been 49 years, but we saved money on combining with the class of '75, go figure. At this point, we don't have to decide what to do when we hang out together, because by the time we get each other's updates, it will be time to go home. 

How To Live To 100

Every time you hear about someone who has lived to be 100 years old -or older- they have a story about how they did it. But each of those interviews is just one person's story. AsapSCIENCE has an overview of the science that pinpoints the specific things that may lead to longevity. However, some of the factors aren't under our control at all. And those that are might be confounded by other factors. Keep in mind also that a long life is not much of a benefit if the last decades are spent in ill health. Still, we could live a perfectly healthy life and be hit by a bus tomorrow. So we are back to the old adage: Plan your life as if you'll live forever, savor it as if today were your last day.

The French Boredom

Daddy done retired and doesn't know what to do with his time. Yeah, too many people don't plan on what to do once they aren't going to a job every day. The ones that do makes plans run into the fact that by the time you have the time and money to travel or dance or refurbish your home, you no longer have the energy or desire to do it. But grandpappy has some advice. 

Knee Brace

Gravity and time- the enemies of the knee. This Strange Planet comic is from Nathan Pyle. 

Things I Look Forward To

Matt Shirley has surely reached middle age. This chart shows that his ambitions have plateaued at varying levels. Wait until old age, when you do not look forward to mowing the lawn at all, although you may look forward to your front yard not drawing negative attention after someone else takes care of it. Old age is when everyone finally decides to tell you what to you, and you don't like it at all. Find all of Matt Shirley's graphs at Instagram.
