So I'm reading Dave Barry's new book, Insane City, in which there are, among other crazy characters, an old couple named Sid and Rose. In one scene, Rose and Sid were up early, taking turns in the bathroom, because, as per Barry, "as older people tend to do, they spent a substantial chunk of each morning in the bathroom, laboriously striving to execute bodily functions that younger people take for granted."
"Huh," I thought, "Don't I know." And then, as I was reading, it occurred to me that Mr. Barry is a year or two my senior and was apparently also writing from the perspective of Sid and Rose.
Talk about a reality shift.
