Old age

I turned 74 on Nov. 18.  Do not send presents.  

Here’s what Leon Trotsky said:  “Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that happen to a man.”  

It’s true.  One minute you are 17, mooning over the girl in the next row in typing class, and the next minute you need a few steps for your joints to move when you get out of the car.  How did that happen so fast?
