Aging has many angles - senior health laugh

The older I get the funnier I see things

George Burns once said, “Tennis is a game for young people. Until age 25, you can play singles. From there until age 35, you should play doubles. I won’t tell you my age, but when I played, there were 28 people on the court -- just on my side of the net.

I was watching mothers with their toddlers and they were smelling them checking for a diaper change. Now to me that is funny. I bet when those girls were younger they would never think of smelling another's backside. Every mother does it and father if he changes the kid.

When we age we do alot of things we thought we never do when we were younger. I think it is good and look at what we do and laugh about it because it is funny. Remember the routine of Billy
Crystal in City Slickers. He watched older people and things he himself was experiencing and said,

"Value this time in your life, kids, because this is the time in your life when you still have your choices. It goes by fast.
When you're a teenager, you think you can do anything and you do. Your twenties are a blur.
Thirties you raise your family, you make a little money, and you think to yourself, "What happened to my twenties"'
Forties, you grow a little pot belly, you grow another chin. The music starts to get too loud, one of your old girlfriends from high school becomes a grandmother.
Fifties, you have a minor surgery-you'll call it a procedure, but it's a surgery.
Sixties, you'll have a major surgery, the music is still loud, but it doesn't matter because you can't hear it anyway.
Seventies, you and the wife retire to Fort Lauderdale. You start eating dinner at 2:00 in the afternoon, you have lunch around 10:00, breakfast the night before, spend most of your time wandering around malls looking for the ultimate soft yogurt and muttering, "How come the kids don't call? How come the kids don't call"'
The eighties, you'll have a major stroke, and you end up babbling with some Jamaican nurse who your wife can't stand, but who you call mama."
Any questions'

I actually like eating earlier. I also have found myself eating a breakfast later. I went to an Imax movie the other day and the sound was as loud or louder than an jet. I liked it because no one was telling me to turn the TV down.

One of the funniest TV situations was Men of a Certain Age going for a colonoscopy thinking they were going to have fun. Having your colon cleansed pretty much ends that fantasy but I found myself laughing so hard because I have been through it. I never thought as a young man I would give myself uncontrollable diarrhea, but there I go, not once but several times. Now that is funny. Sometimes it is good just to laugh. Keep walking
