3. My Dear Peg: The hell I'm not old!

I'm old and I know it.
Not in my head (pretty much, more about that below) but in my bod.

Lately I forget little things.
Like...mix a Scotch and water, bring it back to my desk and see that I forgot to add the water.
Reaching on the wrong side of a doorway for a light switch in a home I've lived in for 20 years.
Remembering whether I took a pill a few hours before.
Going into the kitchen for something and standing there...wondering..."What did I come in here for?"

Getting old sux and it ain't for sissies.
