Can you teach an old dog new tricks?

I have always heard the saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but what about a Silver Fox?  I find my self wondering how true it really is. I have adopted dogs, older dogs from the pound, and with enough bacon he learned new tricks. So can a human very set in their ways, change with enough motivation bacon?

I don't know....We shall see, shan't we.

I'M OLD!!

Mary my roommate is 25!! She feels her age is not an issue, however today it is an issue!! She not only beat in scrabble, and I play daily on my iPhone (read the below blog), but she out technology-ed me. UGH! I am so old!! She knows how to do everything online, and I know how to do nothing....I am sooo uncool! Also note that I didn't know what the Hoedown Throwndown was until about 4 months ago...when a 4 year old set me straight! She also went through my iPhone and asked me (the 4 year old not Mary) where HER music was.... I AM SOO OLD!! How did I get soo old and not know it?!?

PS I used to be kinda cool, but now, NUTTIN!!
