Never thought I'd see this. Always looked at 2000 like some kind of far-off mythical thing. 2013 was a known year, cause that was when I knew I'd be this old. I knew both of those years as numbers. I never knew 'em as actually real. They weren't likely to occur, not in my realm of reality.
Yet...
Today I got my Medicare Part A and Part B card, to take effect June 1, 2013, in the mail.
Not sure how well I'll be sleeping tonight.
