...attic odor of a Life Achievement Award for still being alive. In his via-satellite performance of "Things Have Changed," Dylan, who turns 60 in May, looked like a desiccated Snideley Whiplash, slim mustache and all. But it was worth it to hear the geezer hipster enunciate that grand cliché, "I want to thank the members of the Academy," and then congratulate them of "for being so bold" in giving an Oscar to a song whose lyrics most of them could not decipher...
...Gabby Hayes-Cactus Jack: A reasonably plausible geezer, older than the presidential candidate - comparable to what you have when you put one of your slightly balding tires in the trunk as a spare. Sixty-eight-year-old Pete Domenici of New Mexico has been mentioned as a possible George Bush spare, for example. Truman did it with Alben Barkley...
...person in our community. Scintillating stuff. I've been doing this longer than Willard Scott.

The expansion is 107 months old and counting. Yet the geezer is feeling remarkably spry. Here's what...

A rosy-cheeked geezer and crone trudge around in Thinsulate snow sneakers--this last is a touch of AARP, Mia Farrow in real time, that would never make its way into J.Crew...

Yes, Communicating Doors, now on display in a sprightly off-Broadway staging, is a relatively playful piece. A hooker (Mary-Louise Parker) gets called in to service an old geezer, who promptly confesses that he had his first two wives killed. She flees into a closet, doors spin, and we are transported to the same room 20 years earlier--then 20 years before that. The time-travel gimmick is fun but hardly frivolous: the play explores matters of fate...
