Two old ladies were sitting on a bench outside when I left Baywood Court this afternoon. They looked like SF's famous twins, Marian and Vivian Brown. Pale, white hair-ed, super wrinkly, hunched over, a walker in front of one of them. They sat close together, like two longtime best friends sharing a moment in the sun. "Awww... how sweet," I thought.

As I walked by, one patted the other on the knee and said, "Soon you're gonna be 99, mother."

Right now, my mom and I look at least 25 years apart... me in my 20s, mom in her 50s. In about 35 years, we may just look like two li'l ol' asian ladies around the same age keeping each other company...
