   Not in order. Yes. I am a senior,   
      
   3, Where are there cafeterias these days? I like to see what is available and   
   what I am getting, and also how much I am getting. When I am alone, I dislike   
   sitting by  myself doing nothing waiting for the waiter.   
      
   4. I can get up and go to where there are people, and not bother making it   
   myself.   
      
   2. I'm retired. I can eat as soon as I feel like it.   
      
   1. I never drove a "boat", but many of us grew up  thinking that is what a   
   "real" car looks like, and if we can afford it, why not?  Why save our money -   
   the kids will just spend it.
