Will be 64 next week. Looking in the mirror each morning and saying holy sheet, you’re old dude. Getting up to pee 2 to 3 times each night.

Looking forward to doing extended road bike rides, used to do 100 miles every weekend and 5000 miles a year and now after 45 minutes my soles burn like they are on fire, (have seen a couple of doctors, tried inserts, new shoes, etc), and after several rides I develop a sudden need to pee RIGHT NOW! So that’s pretty much out. Mountain biking is cool but my back pays for it for two days. Love to hike in the mountains but after 6 miles get the same burning foot problem but as a bonus, I can pee whenever I want. Can only run every few days or my back gives me fits. Ibuprofen every evening.

Having close friends die suddenly from heart attacks. Having people in their 30s call me ‘sir’. Seeing my reaction speed slow and becoming more cautious because it takes longer to heal. And the worst is hearing myself sound like my father. Did I mention a detached retina? Thank god for insurance.

I forgot 50 and 60 year old women I don’t know smiling at me like I was 10. Creepy.
