Not to worry - you won't fall apart until your forties.
Then hopefully by then, you can afford everything it takes to be the man you were once...

Good stuff, Wild Bill. Take it easy!

You go, FreeMan
I didn't really start that regression stuff until I retired at 67.  There is something wrong with labeling yourself as "retired".  It kind of stops you in your tracks if you aren't careful and its hard to get going again.   I should have thought of it as a promotion and a new career challenge or something.

Great writing, as always. And I can relate to a lot of it. I'm not dealing well with being 38. I look better than I did at 20, and I'm doing things like publishing my book and going back to school...but yet I wonder what is the point when I'm getting so close to the land of not pooping for days on end, and breaking hips! Ah, life. Ain't it grand?

Wonderful writing.  Now I have to figure on what TAPS said.
