Every Day Still

This 100-words-every-day project is based on the fact that I run across ageism daily. And that remains true. Recently …

Someone said I’m dating myself (as if that’s a bad thing) while remembering a cigar box she’d decorated with macaroni and gold paint.

Someone made an uh-oh-your-memory’s-going joke when a colleague took a beat to find the right word.

Someone chuckled with embarrassment while saying video cassettes—do you remember those?

Of course, it makes my job easier when I don’t have to dig for examples.

But hey, when the world is ready to #StopAgeism, I’m happy to move on.
