FROM FRAN:
Reminds me of the joke of the couple who downsize & move into a high rise apartment. The wife looks out the window and says “I can see everyone in the apartment opposite – we’re going to have to get curtains”
to which he replies “don’t worry dear. When they see you, THEY”LL get the curtains”
But jokes aside, I find the question insulting and was surprised that you actually took the question seriously. Would they complain if the couple were a young spunky,and,sexy ?
At my gym there are a lot of us 65 -75 year old women who look fabulous in their leotards and put a lot of women half their age to shame not only with their bodies but with their fitness.
So let’s see what LD looks like in leotards! Maybe the sight is also not for the faint-hearted and it is LD who needs to “behave with more dignity””
Your columns are must reading in our household so please, don’t belittle them by giving credibility to puerile questions.
Fair enough, Fran. But you open with a joke that many (not I) would find sexist and offensive. Like septuagenarians in Lycra, it’s all in the eye of the beholder. JT
