07/05/17 Grif.Net – Dozen Thoughts on Aging

A warm morning in July gave rise to relaxing and =
thinking.  Most of the time, at my age, I realize that I =
don’t do enough deep thinking.  So while choosing between a =
poached egg/bran muffin OR enjoying cake/ice cream today for breakfast I =
thought: If walking is good for your health, the postman would be =
immortal. And a whale swims all day, only eats fish, and drinks water, =
but is still fat.

 

So, as =
I wash down the cake with a third cup of coffee, I thought I’d =
share a dozen facts about life I’ve discovered:

 

1. I =
started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

 

2. My =
wild oats are mostly enjoyed with prunes and all-bran.

 

3. =
Funny, I don’t remember being absent-minded.

 

4. It =
was a whole lot easier to get older than it was to get =
wiser.

 

5. Some days, you’re the top dog. Some days you’re =
the hydrant.

 

6. =
When I’m finally holding all the right cards, everyone wants to play =
chess.

 

7. I wish the buck really did stop here. I sure =
could use a few of them.

 

8. It =
is hard to make a comeback when you haven’t been =
anywhere.

 

9. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he’d have put =
them on my knees.

 

10. =
Funny, I don’t remember being absent-minded.

 

11. It =
is not hard to meet expenses. They’re everywhere.

 

12. It =
is a lot better to be seen than viewed.
