Getting Along

Lately I have come to notice certain traits and habits of mine that may lead some to think that I may be-how do I put this delicately-getting along in my years. Yes friends I am deathly afraid of the validity of this statement. I apparently cannot escaspe the unescapable, I am getting older.

You may ask what are these so called traits and or habits that have led to this recent realization, well let me share them with you in a list...I find it easier to read and understand that way.

1) There is a current race between myself and my brother over who has acquired the most amount of grey hair. This race he desperatly wants to loose, I however like the way I look with grey hair.
2) The other day I was working with a sixteen year old and he asked me what type of music I liked, and I blanked, I couldn't think of anything besides Neil Diamond, but who doesnt like the Diamond? He rolled off a few options and for the life of me I had never heard of any of them.
3) I dont mind being called sir.
4) Recently I have noticed that I prefer the quiet to any racket that may be playing. There is something about the quiet, its calming and so peaceful, you can just sit there and be alone with your thoughts.
5) My back hurts, and my feet, and my knees, and my head.
6) I like "hanging out" at the library or the book store.
7) I can no longer watch MTV, it moves too fast, its hard for me to concentrate on whats happening, plus who can understand it anways.
8) On the opposite side I love the History Channel. Its amazing...and informative.
9) I have certain programs on certain days that I watch.
10) I like drinking tea.
11) A perfect day to me is either visting museums and art collections, or sitting around the house in my "comfortable clothes"
12) My new desires include having a stable job, a dependable car, and no health problems.
13) My car insurance is really cheap.

That's it. I was in denial for awhile, but alas I must accept the fact that I am no longer in my youth.
Don't worry your uncle jim is still as cool as ever though.
