Another aging problem I've noticed is that it now takes me all night to do what I used to do all night! CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson

Hey Don ... Do you remember that verse that verse that Elmar used to sing to "Roll Your Leg Over The Man In The Moon" ... "Here we are, singing about it, just because we're doing without it it"? Bob

Don and Bob,

You're making sounds like you're feeling old! That's not how I think of either of you. It's all a state of mind. (But I did really enjoy the remark about the words of songs possibly appearing on the ceiling!) Now you two would really be on my case if I added a few complaints to the list, being of the next generation and all. But there are a few aches and missing parts to note (and wouldn't Dad and everyone else be startled to think that I'll be 50 in a couple of years. Blows my mind!)

It's the going upstairs and then forgetting why I went up there.... then only remembering when I've got to the bottom again.

I am reminded of a saying in our family.
I learned years ago of a type of wasp:

"Tarantula hawks" are among the most spectacular wasps, with shiny blue-black bodies, orange wings, and large size (up to 2 inches or 50 mm long). In a life-and- death struggle with a tarantula, the slender wasp usually wins by paralyzing the huge spider with its sting. The wasp transports the spider to its previously dug burrow and lays its eggs on the prey.

The only thing is, if the the wasp is interrupted and confused (like having her burrow covered while she is out chasing the spider) she cannot just re-dig it. Her programming is broken, and she must start over and go sting another spider!

So, when Rita or I walk into a room, look blank and wonder why we are there, the line is: "Damn!...I gotta go sting another spider"

I knew that my days of youth were gone
When my get-up-and-go had got-up-and-gone.
But even now I have to grin
When I think where my get-up-and-go had been.
