Five months and counting

Shall I age gracefully? I am told that getting old is about aging with dignity.

Let's see what I have to look forward to:

Hearing - never been great due to perforated eardrums and now it's going to hell in that proverbial basket we've talked about before.

Eyesight - not what it used to be and going downhill from here. Next stop coke bottles.

Lifting - anything heavy is beyond me. More than 15 pounds gets a cry for help.

Joints - popping, groaning and complaining loudly.

Memory - selective, which may not in itself be a bad thing, but sure does tend to piss off other people.

General health - face it, this is as good as it is going to get.

So why the reflective attitude today you ask? Growing older will do that for you.
