Curious thing I noticed about getting older... Not sure when it happened - mid 40s maybe ? If I stand on anything over 3ft tall, I cannot jump down. Some process in my brain (probably named "self_preservation.exe") flat overrides my impulse and denies it completely. it's amazing, I CANNOT do the jump down...I want to, and I freeze. I forced myself to do it the other day and kinda Forrest Gumped it frozen mid air, and of course it hurt more than if I had been normal about it... My brain was like, nope, bad idea, don't do that, I insist... It's like my body made a deal with the brain, suspects I should no longer do this or everything will shatter- which is really should not from barely 3ft... I find that amusing, more than saddening - because it's really a subconscious process that superseeds my direct orders - any other over 40 geezer notice this ?
