More Proof That I Am Old

One
Despite having “KC Masterpiece” carefully written down on my Costco shopping list, and despite having repeated “KC Masterpiece, KC Masterpiece” in my head as I searched for it in the sauce aisle, I looked at Mr. Yoshida’s Original Gourmet Sauce and my brain immediately said, “Yes! This is the KC Masterpiece sauce I am looking for!” and so I purchased it. It wasn’t until I got home and went to put it in the refrigerator that my brain caught up to reality and realized that KC Masterpiece is not spelled Y-O-S-H-I-D-A.

Two
My car went in for an ordinary service check this past week, and I found out that its turbo boost was broken and quite possibly had been broken for some time.

“You didn’t notice you weren’t accelerating as quickly?” asked the mechanic.

“Not really,” I said. “I mean, I noticed cars were honking at me more when I merged onto the highway, but I just figured that I was getting older and driving slower.”
