My Halloween Costume

I promised to get a picture of me as Red Green at my building’s Cake and Costume event. A helpful gal from Resident Services snapped this and sent it to my email, as I am totally clueless about such things.

There were only a dozen people in attendance, and none of them had ever heard of The Red Green Show. But I was pleased with the way my costume came together, including my beard which I had grown in for the occasion. I pride myself on attention to detail.

Only one other person was in costume, and I was just as puzzled by hers as the others were by mine. I sat at a table with three nice people. I could not follow the conversation due to the ambient noise in the room, but everyone was very pleasant.

These events are not well attended, because most of our residents have the same sorts of trouble seeing and hearing that I do. But we’re all doing the best we can.

Back in the nineties, I think, George Segal starred in a TV show about life in a retirement village. My favorite line of his was “Retirement is just like college, in slow motion!”
