Am I getting too old for this? I'm certainly older now than I've ever been. And now I'm older still. Thank you, They Might Be Giants, for reminding me of something I've always associated with aging: Old lady smell. Is that how old ladies smell, or is that the perfume old ladies use to cover up how they really smell? I hope it's the former, because if it's the latter, that's one really awful perfume.
