A: You've convinced me. All the problems of the world are caused by the Jews and the bicycle riders!
B:  Why the bicycle riders?
A: Why the Jews?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Very true, Tim. I now treat time as a precious commodity.

There are lot of unexpected things about growing older, but what you describe is one of the most disconcerting. It gets even more so when you haven't seen the childhood friends of your kids since they were kids.
On the other hand, my granddaughters are the light of my life.

In the (Broadway) musical there's a song that expresses this so beautifully:

I'm surprised, always thought the police there were on horseback and wore red jackets.

Growing up in Canada, hockey was played at the neighbourhood outdoor rink. We had one about 100 yards up the road. Around November, the boards (sheets of plywood framed with 2x4s were stood up and connected to form the sides. Then, when the weather consistently dropped below freezing, a water hose was hooked up, pulled out and turned on... the rink was 'flooded'.
After that water froze, someone would use their truck with a plow to level the ice. Repeat a few more times... and the rink was ready to use.
If it snowed, plow again, flood, plow... play.
Then, someone decided it was too cold/hard to play outdoors and 'organized' leagues moved indoors... and hockey became too expensive for most people - it became a game of the 'haves' rather than the 'have nots'.
In a city of 55,000 people, there was only one indoor rink, so games were scheduled around the clock.
And police in red serge? The Royal Canadian Mounted Police where the red jacket uniform for formal occasions.
If you get a chance to see the RCMP musical ride, it is worth the price of admission.

I now have a mental picture of a felon, sitting in the backseat of a police car, thinking ot himself, "musical ride, my ass"

That's fancy even outdoors.
I grew up in the outskirts of St. Paul. We had a pond on our property. When it froze, you could skate and practice your slap shot. Goals were fashioned out of snowbanks. We kids pushed shovels around to clear our "rink" after a dump. Nothing was very organized but man we could skate better than <insert hero=""> by December. I miss speed skating that was fun, but not enough to subject my ankles and knees to it now.
He shoots, he scores!!!

We had a pond that we cleared and played on.
The rink up the road was owned by the city - we just happened to live near by.

Yes, the other night, we went to a boxing match and a hockey game broke out.

Tom Petty was a legend. He will be missed.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

... in history, among others, the following people were born:
Heinrich Himmler, Infamous Nazi (SS / Gestapo)
Vladimir Putin, Russian President
Simon Cowell, British TV Producer
and me.
Coincidence?
To help balance things out these fine folks were also born on Oct 7:
Neils Bohr, Danish physicist
Desmond Tutu, South African Nobel Peace Prize Winner
John Mellencamp, American musician / singer
