....when you can finish the lyrical question, "Who put the dip in the _ _ _ _ _?" without looking the answer up on The Google.

And that kid? He has enough hair for every kid on my block back then – and their dads, too, with some left over!

I wouldn't say I'm dreading it. It's obviously better than the alternative. It just blows my mind how fast time goes. I can't get my arms around that number.

It is just a number.

Wifey still needs me.
Wifey still feeds me.
Since I'm 64.

Everything HURTS
My finger hurts where I got a splinter, under the nail. I would have told that lady who dug it out at the nail salon ANYTHING.

My shoulder kills when I lift my arm above that level, or try to wash my opposite pit. Bone spur, but Dr. doesn't want to jump right to cutting the bone off.

I spent all day in bed my back hurts so bad. Alternating between sitting/standing at computer today.

I didn't walk that far, we are my heels killing me.

What did you say? Can't hear/understand what you said.


And still only 56. . .

I can remember phone numbers I called 30-40 years ago. But, I'll be in my office and get up to go do something and get 15 feet and not be able to remember what the mission was....

Couldn't figure out how to set up a Nintendo Switch for my 6-year old. After an hour of Googling and trial-by-error, I quit and blurted out in frustration "video games are stupid anyway, go outside and play."

Fun fact: I'm turning 40 this year AND I'm an avid XBox gamer.... sigh.
