OhSnap!DragonPeople of a certain age get it when I say "I'm sick, man, like Bartles and Jaymes next day sick."
There is a part of me that is Walter Matthau-slash-Jack Lemmon in "Grumpy Old Men" that has decided that most human beings are little more than smelly, greasy bacteria vectors with whom I want no interaction.
Present company excepted, of course.
Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.

You guys.
I just got off a telehealth call with my urologist, and the prostate biopsies he took out of my butt a couple weeks ago came back negative. I'm so relieved right now, and full of hope and prayers for anyone facing serious illness.
Sending out love and compassion vibes. Wishing all my wonderful Followers a fulfilling and amazing new year.

I just realized that I've seen Dwight Yoakam live in each of the last five decades, and I'm not the least bit upset by that.
He's really good live.

Some pop star I never heard of on NPR just said "I loved the Twilight movies AS A KID", and I'm all like, I have a box of Q-Tips older than you.
I'll give you a quarter to mow my lawn, though.

It has come to this.
With six different healthcare providers and two different labs, I have had to create an Excel spreadsheet just to keep track of my doctor's appointments and the lab test appointments for the doctor's appointments.
Random Post-It notes and reminder cards on the fridge are not cutting it anymore.
Getting old is a full-time job, my friends.

ENG: The Benefits of Daily Cannabis for the Middle-Aged Brain. Chronic low-dose oral or inhaled cannabis may improve working memory. By Gary Wenk Ph D. Published June 29, 2025 in PSYCHOLOGY TODAY
ESP: "¿Por qué puede ser beneficioso el cannabis en la edad madura?
Durante el envejecimiento normal, el número de receptores cannabinoides endógenos disminuye. La pérdida de estos receptores cannabinoides se correlaciona con un mayor nivel de inflamación en varias regiones cerebrales y pérdida de neuronas en el hipocampo.
Esto es importante porque el hipocampo es fundamental para el aprendizaje y la memoria. La pérdida de receptores cannabinoides puede contribuir a las alteraciones de la memoria asociadas a edad avanzada.
Estudios realizados en mi laboratorio han demostrado que la estimulación diaria de los receptores cannabinoides disminuía la inflamación cerebral y aumentaba significativamente la neurogénesis hipocampal en cerebros viejos. Estos cambios se asociaron a una mejora del aprendizaje y la memoria. Estos resultados indican que los beneficios potenciales del cannabis para el cerebro envejecido están probablemente relacionados con la reducción de la neuroinflamación regional y la estimulación de los receptores cannabinoides disponibles en las células madre latentes."

At my age, having a "freak-off" just means adding two teaspoons of Miralax and some flaxseed meal to my morning orange juice and then letting nature take its course.

It's definitely happening to us, and we can see it our 14 year-old cats, too.
Sometimes I remember an event, party, or a trip that seems like just a year or two ago, only to realize it's been closer to a decade.
