FEELING OLD

Thursday, May 25, 2006

I have just returned from my morning walk. Most of the time the walking invigorates me but not today. For some strange reason I feel tired and old. Maybe it’s because I played a rough game of basketball last night against the Dallas Mavericks. Well, I didn’t really play but I felt like I did. I hope I’m rested up for Friday’s game.

Thinking about being old makes me think about a little girl that went with her father when he visited the elderly at the convalescent home. As he went from room to room visiting, in one room he saw her just standing, staring at a set of false teeth in a glass of water. Finally, she looked up at him and said, “The tooth fairy is not going to believe this.”
