Aloha, all... it is true... I am turning 40 in the middle of this month. Thanks to Cy, the new webmaster, for getting this strip up so quickly. Of course everyone else- feel free to add your own signs as well ^_^

Whoa. how many of those i relate to, I forgot. Castle park is one of the best ones for me.

Aloha ridingbright - Yeah - I miss Castle Park - the bumper boats, the mini-car racing, mini golf, and they had great video games including The Real Ghostbusters and the sit down Star Trek vector game. Thanks for writing in. -jon j.

oh, jus remembered games we played in the arcade an on atari. these are now Retro, classics. when payphones were 10cents an riding bus as a student was 25-50cents.

HEY!!! What about the Drive-In Theaters like Kam&Waialae and pretty soon the Bowling Alleys and the Skating Rinks too!!!

ALoha raiolap001 - you're right! Kam drive-in was the best. I remember Skateland, the Sky Slide, and Bowl-a-Drome. Fortunately Aiea & Leeward are still around. I do miss Skateland too (sigh). Thanks for commenting :D - jon j.

Hey All - I'm sure you all have more to say about "You know you're old when..." - go ahead and add your comments here. Love to hear them. Most of these above were my personal experiences. ^_^ -jon j.

Happy Birthday, Jon! I've enjoyed following your career from Garfield to Caleb, to now! The many years have certainly flown by! But, hey! you have another 40 plus years of productivity! Mrs. I

Aloha, viviani. Thank you - People need to know that you were my 5-6th grade teacher and I can't emphasize this enough: It's people like you who encouraged, nurtured, and promoted my creativity as a young impressionable age that got me to where I am today. I can't tell you how much I owe you for helping me always think outside the box. (btw you forgot Peanuts, remember you forbad me from drawing Snoopy in the classroom) Glad you are still following my work and we'll see about another 40 years ^_^ - thanks so much for writing in - much Aloha!

You know you're getting old when you walk around UH and you notice coeds looking at you and smiling and you realize it's probably because they miss their dads.

here's one that i just realized. The public liberary open everyday an all-day.

lol those are all good ones - thanks for sharing :D

happy birthday jon. wow, this is a scary list of getting old facts. it's so true. i walk to a room to get something then can't remember what it was. wait till your eye sight starts changing. to me, this is something really scary. i love to read and knit, and it's starting to get blurry. i remember watching checkers and pogo, ala moana shopping center used to have a big sand box (and penguins, or this might just be my imagination), and the NBC (blaisdell) used to be HIC. aloha, andrea
