You're only as old as you feel.. man am I in trouble.

(me in my old man hat)

I woke up the other day and all my joints hurt..
Later on that day it rained..
You all know what this means right?
I am old.
I can feel the weather in my bones.

Others my age my be complaining about the stray gray hair..
the small microscopic wrinkle..
Oh no, not me..
I have jumped about 50 years on the aging train..
Right to the point where people are saying things like..
"A storm's abrewing, I can feel it in my bones, sonny."
As they spit a stream of tabaccy out of the corner of their mouth..
I am not sure what old person I am referencing..
But in my head I see it all.
My head is a scary place to be.

I guess there is nothing to do but embrace this state of old age...
Stock up on Ensure..
Complain about music being too loud..
Making comments about kids these days..
and "Back in MY day."
I already have the hat..
I should probably invest in a good cane..
Not for walking purposes just yet..
but so I can practice hitting "Young whippersnappers " over the head when they are disrespectful.
Because apparently as I age I also go back in time to the 50's.

Is anyone else aging a lot faster than they expected?
We should have dinner sometime..
How does 4:00 work for you?
