Fountain of Youth


Do you want to feel young? Then get with your husband and watch videos that your favorite band made … what, ten, fifteen years ago? When they were skinny teenagers?

“Look at Ed!” Gary cried. “He’s a baby!’ (He wasn’t a baby. He was young and slight and shiny.) We danced on the basement floor and closed our eyes and pretended we were on a cruise.

I’m aware the band has a foothold on my pleasure neurons. I hear their music and feel happy and at peace. I didn’t realize I had the option of watching their old videos and feeling young.
