The body reminds us of our age, whenever we forget. I am struggling (feebly) against the slow but inexorable transformation into my 72-year-old father: formerly 5' 11½", 190 pounds, now 5' 10", 265 pounds. I need sleep that I never needed before. Aches and pains are starting to creep in. And my ass is enormous in my jeans. Okay, that last one I get from my mother.
