...or you refer to decaf coffee as "unleaded" to the blank stare of a Gen-Z server.....

María Rosario Pilar Martínez Molina Baeza,

[ a.k.a. Charo] was born in Murcia, Spain.

She was an accomplished Flamenco guitarist winning two top honors. Crazy funny but talented.

Everything I say to a Gen-Z results in a blank stare

I think it's their natural state.

I have a friend who is playing Santa Claus at a bunch of private events this year and he absolutely looks like he could be Santa himself!!

^ Met a guy yesterday at Trader Joe's and we were talking about wine and I told him that Port wine is named that because it comes from Porto, Portugal. I said "I'm 68yo and I just found that out this year from a Portuguese friend of mine." He said "I'm 65 and I just found that out right now, from you." We both had a laugh. I could've sworn this guy was older than me.

You know you're old when all the commercials on the TV channel's you watch are for medications, hearing aids, or Medicare insurance instead of toys or fragrances.
