Chess for Oldtimers --- Good Idea !

I recall back in my teen years anyone over 40 we referred to as " old geezers " , now I am one !    I also remember Ed Sullivan show and it was the first place I ever saw the Beatles and Elvis ! They would only show Elvis from above the waist !  LOL  There were ooodles of westerns on back then and I liked several of them : Bonanza , Gunsmoke, The Rifleman , Wanted, Dead or Alive , Laredo and some I am sure I have forgotten . 

"Have gun, will travel."

We should form an old geezer forum , or is there one already ?  

I dont study chess as much as I used to cause I am in training for my next diving competition ..... 

I saw an eposode recently.

Fine form!  Work on the entry though - the splash was slightly asymetric.

Ah, the good old days. South Park, Family Guy, The Simpsons. It brings back memories. Oh......... I think I'm gettin' all misty eyed now just thinkin' about it. Let me stop. Whoo, I'm ok now. Just got the sniffles.

There IS an old geezer chess team/group:  it's called "Geezers"(!), and I'm a member.  Age reqirements are 60 for men and 50 for women.  (Everyone asks why -- it's just to help maintain a gender balance, since chess.com has fewer women.)

So check it out if you're interested! 

Thanks for the posts.

As we age we begin to see that we are slowing down ( both in speed while running and also in thinking ). People do tell us that " it is the Early Bird who gets the Worm ". However it is also true that it is the SECOND Mouse who gets the Cheese ! So do you want an old worm or some nice Cheese ???

I often feel the same way about people that age.  They're always playing their so-called "music" too loud, and they never write thank you notes, and they won't speak up so I can hear them, and no matter how many times I shake my fist at them, they still won't get off my lawn!

Thanks for the posts.

Thanks for the cute cartoon Chess_gg.

For some years now we have seen books being sold as guides for Dummies ( Golf for Dummies, Yoga for Dummies etc ). Also there are Guides for Complete Idots as well and now we have a new series for older folks. Yes the " Wrinklers Guides " are here complete with a drawing of a turtle on the cover. I've only seen a couple of titles so far but who knows, they might just catch on. 

Clint Eastwood was born in 1930 , the same year my dad was born .  I have always been an Eastwood fan and like his westerns better than the other stuff he has done  , he is one of 3 very famous people I had hoped to meet someday , the other 2 have passed .... 

Yes, I had his Josey Wales character as avatar for years .  I also idolized Bruce Lee but he was taken from his fans far too soon ... 

...as was Bruce's son, Brandon.    BTW Clint Eastwood just celebrated his 84th birthday on May 30.

Clint's birthday is May 31 .  

Oops, my bad.  That means he's a birthday twin with my eldest Grandchild.

Eastwood now? -- admired by many for his character and accomplishments

Eastwood in his youth, on the series Rawhide, in the early '60's? -- admired by many for being unusually attractive (i.e.: "omg! what a hottie!")

Eastwood a hottie ?!  I never think/thought of him like that ... but I reckon the gals might ! 

Uhh, yeah.  Hunk-o-licious
