Another Sign You’re Past Your Prime

You get this in the mail, giving your postal delivery person yet another reason to feel sorry for you:

Thoughts Upon Leaving the Gym

I left the gym yesterday shaking my head. There are some things I will not do to try to convince others that I are somehow younger than I look. 1. Wear a man bun Now granted, my hair has never been long enough to support a man bun. Well, maybe in my college days, althoughContinue reading “Thoughts Upon Leaving the Gym”

Signs You’re Past Your Prime

You should realize you’re past your prime when: 1…you pull out a T-shirt from your drawer with the logo of your daughter’s 3rd grade soccer club from 2003 and the word COACH on the back, and wear it anyway, usually underneath a sweat shirt commemorating some event from the 1980’s 2…you can’t recall the dayContinue reading “Signs You’re Past Your Prime”

MY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS

It’s that time of year, and since I haven’t been invited to any New Year’s Eve parties, what else can I do but muddle through some resolutions I’ve been thinking about. 1. A teacher at my high school told me that I should become president of the United States. (Well in truth she told thatContinue reading “MY NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS”

I know, I know, IContinue reading “Today’s traumas”

I apologize

I was preparing an apology to my friends and acquaintances who, like me, haven’t reached the age of 75. For some reason, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention chose 75 as the cutoff age for early Covid-19 vaccinations. I was convinced that I was partly responsible for this decision. You see, I’ve always beenContinue reading “I apologize”

I’m Back!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. Life ACV (After CoronaVirus) sapped my creative spirit and silence my muse. Hell, it not only silenced my muse but beat the living shit out of it. Frankly. ruminating about my mantra, “I Never Knew Eight Hours Could Last So Long,” seemed downright laughable. I now realizeContinue reading “I’m Back!”

CDC ADVISES OLDER AMERICANS TO STAY HOME

I’m b-a-a-a-c-k! Im sure those of you who know me fully expected that I would begin this blog with my usual enthusiasm, only to disappear. I completely understand your skepticism. I’m good at disappearing. But I have an excuse. I’ve been hunkering down as the new apocalypse sweeps over us: COVID-19. I’ve never believed thatContinue reading “CDC ADVISES OLDER AMERICANS TO STAY HOME”
