On Golden Pond

The image in the mirror this morning was a little scary. I’m turning into my dad I thought as I reached for the Rogaine. I then made my way to the kitchen for my morning Metamucil. Some coffee and the morning paper will give me a jumpstart, but where are my glasses? Well, I do buy ‘em by the 3 pak at Costco and keep a pair in every room.

Ah, middle age. First the hairline recedes and then the eyesight. Hope my penis doesn’t recede. And why am I getting spam about cheap Viagra?

Reflecting back on my fifties so far, I recall 2 hernia surgeries and a gall bladder that got yanked. I feel like my son’s rebuilt Volvo with 160,000 miles on it. I’m reconditioned and good to go.

And the healing process has slowed, as with my groin pull. Thus the freezer full of multiple ice packs. We’re talkin one crotchety crotch!

Still getting older is better than the alternative and life’s good!! Like they say, you use it or you lose it....so that’s my game plan.
