Random Wordplay for Wednesday 2/25/15

60 and better.

Used in a sentence:  "Maybe it's because I'm slowly ageing (and starting to feel it), but probably because I'm now domiciled in southern Florida (which is demographically predominantly in that older age bracket) ... regardless, I thought it clever recently when I saw the grouping of those who were over the age of 59 as '60 and better' (instead of 60 and older)."

It will be interesting to see if the baby boomer group successfully changes our country's general view of the old folks that seems to run opposite of those foreign places that tend to revere and respect the elderly, but I'd like to think that, as I get closer and closer to that magic number (in about a decade-and-a-half), I'll be a better version of what I am today.

Here's hoping!
