    The past few months have really impressed upon me that I'm getting older.

    Playing softball on the residency team in the Columbus rec league, and it occurs to me that I am nowhere near as strong or as fast as I was even 3 years ago. I used to be fast enough to stretch out a routine single into a double at least 50% of the time, and I could crack 'em out to the fence for at least a 3-bagger once a game. This season, never got more than a single. I'm so freaking old.

      What did I do to you? Build up AAHZ's esteem and well-being, while stomping me at the same time?
      That's efficient anyway.


      @ AAHZ:
      The remark about whining was a joke, I didn't mean to be rude. Sorry if it looked that way.

        I hope this cheered you up.
        Jeez, Lancer, cheer us all up. I'm 58, and feel it every day. You get to complain after your first heart attack, if you live. AAHZ, try Effexor, if it's psychosomatic -- doesn't have the same allergy pattern as others. Some of us do have brains that don't produce enough of some chemicals -- the meds help that, even if the psych docs don't really know why.

          My heart may sometime try a frontal assault but I'm more concerned that my prostate will flank me.

              Doctor-prescribed unfortunately. We have very weird drug laws.

              Lance, my prostate jumped me at 38. Old injuries act up regularly. "Growing old is not for sissies," according to Bette Davis. Ain't that the way? Does beat the heck out of the alternative. A professional colleague says, "Any day above ground is a good day."

                      I have a old friend, 73 years old in fact, that got himself an artificial prostate that he swears by. Thing is, it's like an elevator. Push the button it goes up, push it again, it goes down.

                      Now that's performance.
