Today's Proof That I Am Old

After showering this morning, I felt an itch on my back.  Couldn't quite reach it; it was just in that spot that you have a hard time reaching, just at the bottom of my right wing-stub.  But now that I'm old, that's no problem!  My skin is loose and malleable.  It's like wearing a suit made out of "Silly Putty."  "Silly Skin!" I was able to just grab a handful of flesh right at my shoulder and give it a good yank -- and VOILA!, the itchy spot came up and over my shoulder, and I scratched that itch no sweat.    Loose skin, tight muscles; these are the hallmarks of one's 40's.  Next blog entry: the time I actually pulled a hamstring in the shower -- a story that sounds like it should be so much more interesting than it unfortunately is.
