A British study concludes that older women are getting more of a kick out of life than older men.
I didn't want to ask one woman her age, so I tried to take her happiness temperature.
"I think that depends upon your circumstances in life," she said.
"What about your circumstances in life?" I asked.
"I don't think so," she answered.
The study says women find new wellsprings of happiness once the kids are out of the house. But one woman from Farmington doesn't buy it.
"I don't know if I agree with that," she said. "I don't know how happy men are."
She should talk to the man with the furrowed brow and silvery hair who pulled up nearby.
"It's a 2003 Dodge diesel. That's my picture of happiness today," he said.
He says men find happiness when they can buy new toys. The British interviewed nearly 10,000 people born before 1952.
