Is there something you can do about it? You’re darned right there is! You can fight back. Mister Old Age is not going to get you, by golly! All you need is a little determination — a willingness to get out of that reclining lounge chair, climb into that sweatsuit, lace on those running shoes, stride out that front door, and hurl yourself in front of that municipal bus.
No, wait. Sorry. For a moment there I got carried away by the bleakness of it all. Forget what I said. Really. There is absolutely no need to become suicidally depressed about the fact that every organ in your body is headed straight down the toilet.

Dave Barry (b. 1947) American humorist, author, columnist
Dave Barry Turns 40, ch. 2 “Your Disintegrating Body” (1990)

I'm "I'm back to complaining about getting old using the I'm "insert some getting old downside here" years old meme to complain about getting old" years old.

Memeception!
Subtitle: YO DAWG, we heard you like complaining about getting old so we put a meme about getting old into your message about complaining on getting old!

I woke up with an aching shoulder.

Thank you body for constantly reminding I'm not that young anymore.
At least I know the shoulder is still there 🤔

The weird thing about getting old is that young people seem to get younger too.

Young me:
Sun's out!... Guns out!

Old me:
Sun's out!... Oh, quick, get the washing on the line!

Stuff I wanted from a car at various ages:

18: Cheap. Occasionally parts can fall off. -> Fiat Uno for 1k DM

25: Company car. Oh the camshaft exploded? Not my problem! Yay!

30: No car needed. Yay? -> DLR, Taxi and corporate cab account.

45: Cheap. Energy efficient. Reliable. Big trunk. -> Astra J 1.7 CDTI for under €5k

Now: Cheap*. Energy efficient. Reliable. Big trunk. 20 cm ground clearance. Bad road suspension. Seats that don't hurt my back.

No wonder its so hard to find with these growing needs :)

*Cheap means: If I have to spend more than €5k on a car it better be fucking awesome, lifts itself up for repair access, lasts forever, runs on beaver farts and not look like a malformed egg.

I committed my first error of Spring Training: I momentarily mistook Justin Jirschele for Garrett Guest. Jirsch played along admirably when I told him about my new car purchase. It's not like I've covered him for a decade. At least I had the right organization #gettingold(er)

A quotation from Thomas Bailey Aldrich

All the best sands of my life are somehow getting into the wrong end of the hourglass. If I could only reverse it! Were it in my power to do so, would I?
