Not old- not young.......but at a point in life where we begin to understand that every moment is gift! I was more worried about your damaged ankle- hoping all is well!

Happy Birthday. The next stage of aging-denial is continually telling yourself that you’re still middle aged!

"The deals you make with yourself are the easiest to break, and also hurt the most." Ouch. Truth.

Forty-four. Two-thirds of sixty-six (your father). Half of Judi Dench. Half, less a year, of Robert Redford. Or, plus a year. Now I'm confused. You are an old ancient Roman, an ancient early Cro-Magnon, and a twenty-first century, brilliantly creative (still!) upstart whippersnapper. Wonderful times await, dear boy. But, please, wear shoes with sticky soles, and turn on the light when it's dark. Especially when you're watching a scary movie you've watched before, in someone's sunken living room that you forgot was sunken and you need to rush to the bathroom before that great jump scare scene comes whose terror you can embellish with your own perfectly timed shriek. It can hurt.
