You always hear women complaining that they're becoming their mothers. Well, I'm becoming my father. I caught an unfortunate glimpse of myself in the bathroom mirror this morning as I was creaking my way to the can and there I was, hunched and shuffling around like an old man. It takes about 10 minutes for my body to respond to being awake, straighten itself and get blood pumping to aching muscles and stiff bones. Five years ago it took five minutes and I imagine in five more years it'll take 15 or 20. Time is no friend to the aging.
Thought for the day: What is it about sleeping as you age that makes you feel like you've just run a marathon?
