Turning 66

I still consider myself as being young because i don't: *wear blue jean shorts *wear white leather walking gym shoes *drive a golf cart around my neighborhood *pull my pants up to my chest *have the shakes *drive at a snails pace on the road *collect social security *cut my lawn 3x a week *go on cruises *drink tea *play bingo *wear house slippers *wear a robe *power walk at the mall *eat jello for dessert *carry hard candy in my pocket *write checks at the grocery *do crossword puzzles *wear pajama sets *send holiday letters *consider myself old Have I convinced anyone that 66 is not as bad as everyone thinks? Have a good day

New Times

As I stumble into 2021, still dodging the people that refuse to wear a mask or the ones that wear them so low you could groom their nose hair, I really miss seeing my kids and grandkids on a regular basis. I want to try to camp and kayak a lot more this year. I want to ride my bicycle, sell my Harley and try to increase my exercise. I want to eat better and lose some of the 80 excess pounds that I carry around on my arthritic Knees. I want to get vaccinated for Covid-19. I want to continue to work , which makes all the things I want to improve on nearly impossible. I want to start writing on here daily just to sharpen my focus and keep my eyes looking forward to make an effort to achieve some of these things. Getting older sucks from a physical point of view , but I'm still the guy that likes to dream a little See you the next time- man I like it how the sun will be out for the next week Later
