Old Fart Thoughts

A friend of mine in Florida sent me an e-mail today and it got me thinking about my (ug!) birthday tomorrow.  It was all about the benefits of walking as you get older, the exercise and what the benefits are.  Here's some of the highlights:
1.  Walking can add minutes to your life.  This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month.
2.  I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
3.  I have to walk early in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.
4.  Everytime I hear that dirty word "exercise" I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
5.  We all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more information in our heads.  That's my
story and I'm sticking with it.

To keep this short and sweet, now that I'm older I thought it was great that I seemed to have more patience.  Turns out I just don't give a shit .........
