The Orangade Skies of Northeast Alabama

It's been such a Long Time

That's the name of a Boston song,...from my youth,.....which was a long time ago,....it's beginning to seem. Last year, it was just yesterday. Welcome to middle age. Middle age makes me tired. I am so tired of thinking about what I eat and what I do. Am I eating the right things,....will I pay for it later,...do I have enough acid reducers for tonight and if I am on a business trip and forgot them,....then I MUST make a stop at the drug store,....just in case,.....I need some insurance,...in case I start living in the past and think I can eat three pieces of pepperoni pizza without paying the piper. Geez,...I sound old too. Well,...I have embraced my age,....maybe too prematurely,.....no pun intended,....but a friend got me an OLD GUYS RULE t-shirt, which I wear with pride. The sub-caption is: The older I get, the better I was! My other favorite is Old Guys Rule,...there's an old looking car emblem V-8, and encircling it is the phrase: "High Mileage, Low Maintanence". Gotta have that one! You know, I might as well laugh,....cause Boys don't cry,....says The Cure. There,..I just dated myself again, with that comment. Talk about shootin yourself in the foot!
