  1. My Knees Have Opinions

    I have reached the age where I've discovered something I never knew in my younger years. Apparently, my knees have opinions. The problem is, they've become a lot more vocal with age, and they don't often agree with my heart. Getting injured no longer requires doing something stupid. There was a time when I could play football all afternoon, eat questionable food at midnight, sleep four hours, and wake up ready to do it all again. Now I sleep a full night, wake up with a crick in my neck, […]

  3. I’m having a reverse midlife crisis. I’m 53, and instead of trying to dress 25 again, I’m dressing like I’m 73. The T-shirts and ball caps are getting replaced with button-up shirts and pinch hats. The funny part is I actually like it. I quit giving a damn about looking younger. If this keeps up, I’ll be yelling at kids to stay off my lawn before long. Growing older isn’t the crisis. Pretending you’re not is. #GenX #Aging #Life #Style #GettingOlder

  9. People say that, as you get older, it's harder to make friends. You do still make friends. It's just that their names tend to end in PA, RN, or MD. #GettingOlder #Humor

  13. Currently rewatching House MD. Thought "what has Jennifer Morrison done since then?"
    Checked imdb. Oh. Right. 100+ episodes of Once Upon A Time, like my wife told me a week ago when I wondered the exact same thing.

  14. April 7.

    It's my birthday.

    I turn 37 today.

    Feeling older than I expected, but also sensing quite sense of growth.

    I haven't figured out everything yet, but I'm still moving forward.

    Let's see what this year has in store.

  16. Tengo una especie de Golden Ticket.

    Nunca vi Dragon Ball.

    De chico no teniamos cable para verlo, de grande no me llamaba la atencion. Ahora de viejo creo que necesito algo donde escapar y me suena a que es por ahi, para dejar el lugar que dejo Frieren.

  17. After not being able to find my reading glasses since Sunday, I just checked my desk again and found them.

    I swear I've checked my desk at least 6 times per day. It was always the first place I checked when I went looking for them.

    I swear sometimes the universe actively fucks with people. #GettingOlder

  19. Musical Interlude: OK, yesterday was my sixtieth birthday. I'm not sure I feel it, and wonder if I should...you know how that goes. But, anyway....I love this song, and I dedicate this to myself and anyone else kind of amazed that they're still around.

    "I'm Still Here," performed live by Yvonne de Carlo.

  22. #GettingOlder #FirstWorldProblems

    So, I've had glasses since the 3rd grade, amd my vision is pretty stable, I did have to switch to progressive lenses.

    But, when I have to shave, or cut my hair (what's left of it!) I cannot see well enough with the glasses on or off to see my whole head/face!

    It's a struggle. I also can't grow a proper beard, so letting g grow wild is not ideal...

    Sigh. 🙂
