I’ve always found DesertGeezer to be a pretty cool sort of dude.
Well, he’s a ‘geezer’ thing isn’t he? How more geezer can you get?
When someone frazzled from his workday says, “Yike, is it Friday yet?” I just smile and say, “Yes. Yes, it is!”
That’s one of the coolest parts of being a geezer. 
BTW, I didn’t realize NPR was geezer territory. That means I’ve been a geezer since my late 20’s!

I am a big fan of old movies. It’s been a great way to “bond” with my mom, who is an old movie fan as well (though some of the “old” movies are really from her generation).
For instance, the other day I taped Barbara Stanwyck in “Stella Dallas” and watched it with my mom. I’m tellin’ ya, it was one of those old moldy melodramas, but by the end of the movie, both my mom and I were furtively sniffing and wiping away tears. We’re both such suckers for old movies. Some of them are quite wonderful. (I happen to think Gary Cooper is sublime.)
I like old music too, and even have (gasp!) vinyl records. (I started collecting music when I was young, and held out and didn’t get a CD player until 1992, so I have a lot of vinyl.)
I also have a fascination with “Old L.A.” My dad left us a lot of “History of Los Angeles” books, and I love looking through them. Old noir movies set in LA are a particular favorite.
October, 1941.
Why? That’s when my house was finished, and I intend to restore it as close as possible to that state of design and decor–that tiny slice of American life that was after the Depression but before we got into the War–sort of a “final moment” period.

Trenchcoats with wide-brimmed hats.
Pipes (Does anyone smoke with pipes anymore?)
Old TV commercials where every product had it’s own song, usually sung by a chorus or quartet.
For that matter–old black-and-white movies where the performances were -real-. Those old movies could show a lot more action in one simple camera angle–one simple facial shot–and maybe a dramatic music cue, than a whole studio full of billions of dollars worth of special effects could do.
My elderly neighbor recently got a new Buick. I found myself looking at it and thinking, “Wow, that’s a nice looking car!”
It was a total geezer moment
I’ll second that, gonzoron. I’m hooked on that damn game!

I didn’t know suicide doors on cars was considered geezerish.
I love suicide doors… i hear its really expensive to do it to a car though 
Fred and Ginger? Swing dancing? Rat pack music? English cozy mysteries?
Shit. I’m a geezer. Thanks a lot, you guys.

Also, showtunes are somewhat geezerish, although most of my favorite shows are from the '60s onward (West Side Story, Chorus Line, Fantasticks, Les Miz as opposed to Rodgers and Hammerstein…)
I really like hats. I wear a snap-brim fedora in the cool weather. I like vests. I love it when my neices give me things they made in school. My house is decorated in kindergarten and early first grade crafts.

Geezer chicks.
But then, I guess that goes with the territory.
I’ve noticed some Buicks, too. It might have been a LeSabre, and it was about 10 years ago, but I noticed how the body and doors were a sort of muted chrome about one third of the way up. Stylin! I suppose these days it’s geezerish to want any vehicle besides a pickup, jeep, or SUV.
