    I'm not getting better, just older

    It's true. My eyesight is failing, it's harder to keep on the muscle, the concentration is lapsing, I'm napping in the afternoon, etc. etc. My mechanic also confirms that my car isn't getting better either - just older. At least that can be fixed.

    Tax season went well this year except I have come to the conclusion that I no longer can read the small print on W-2s and 1099s. Going to the eye doc to see about bifocals or readers.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Once it starts, it's a continuous progression. There are plateaus, but they are fleeting.
    A few years ago, Max McGee convinced me not to clean my own gutters any longer.
    My most used app on my smartphone is the flashlight app.
    I intended to mention others, but I can't remember what they are.

    I'm 'only" 67 years old and feeling better every day.

    Thank God I loved Martial Arts.

    Thank God I'm a gamer. . . .love life and most of all have a magnificiant woman to love.

    I had my blood pressure checked this week:

    112 over 72 and a heart rate of 58 PBM. Just a boy.

    I work as hard on physical stuff as I did all my life. I feel like Tony the Tiger.......Grrrrrrreeeeeeaaaaat !
