Back when I was in my late forties, I used to think it was funny when I started receiving invitations to join AARP. It seemed impossible that I was that old, and I felt as fine and well as ever, so AARP seemed like a humorous mistake.
My reaction was different this morning when I went to get the mail and received a large-format postcard reminding me that Medicare is only one year away and that it's time to prepare. I didn't think that was amusing at all; in fact, if I had to choose an adjective for that reality, it would be terrifying!
