Your vision of the nursing home is at once hilarious and horrifying. Cheers- Murph Hey Morriganna,

i’ve often found myself pondering what the hell my generation will look like at ninety, eyes glazed, rocking softly in the nursing home rec room, singing along together in cracked, wandering voices: “With the lights out, it’s less dangerous, Here we are now, entertain us…”, as a young janitor drifts by. creepy.

maybe we should mandate that all gen-Xers learn to hum at least one Boys II Men song before before they hit 60. less drool for the nurses to clean up.

dignity, always dignity.
