Killed the Geezer

My youngest son has, for at least ten years, loved terms for me like "Geezer" and "Old man." I sort of bought into it too. When he put "The Old Man" on my cell phone screen, I let it stay there. I came up with usernames all over the internet that stressed my age.

Time to end that. You've probably noticed that my username here doesn't stress age, and I'm changing e-mail addresses and such to get rid of that reference. Just not a positive way to think about myself. Maybe I'll never pass for 18 again, but I don't have to prepare for the boneyard just yet either.
