In that short, infinitesimal 10YEARS: nice smooth skin, toned healthy muscles, brain functioning at it's optimal level,energy abound....
and we have kids, get a career, buy house, find mate....
and then some weird countdown begins from some clock I was never aware of.
I can not make any sense of this.
It's too fucking short, it doesn't seem right anymore.
We live so much longer now, our golden hour needs to be extended to 30 yrs. at the very least.
Your thoughts? (you are 5 years older than me, right?:D )

Interesting my Dear.....it seems like I had 20+ good years. Maybe it's because I was a pretty good athlete. Drafted out of high school and college by MLB teams. Passed on that and took a free agent tryout with the San Francisco 49ers in the early 80's....I've always been in pretty good shape. I still play in a over 48 baseball league and play 2 nights a week in a adult ice hockey league chasing guys half my age around the ice. I own my own General Contracting Co and build commercial bldgs here in the Dallas area. I work ungodly hours as you can tell by the wide range of times I'm on the forum. I've never been married but I think I have found that Ingrid Pitt look alike and who knows, maybe we'll tie the knot this coming year :eek: . Just built my dream home last year, a 4100 sq ft brick home. Awful big for one guy but maybe I'll start filling it up soon ;) But I have noticed my body is slowing down. 4 knee surgeries on my right knee, countless other broken bones, and being on a non-stop 18-20 hour days the last 15 years or so I can feel it. I have definely slowed down this last year......I'm 3 months from being 50 and I am feeling it. You are right, time flys by, I'm going to wake up here and be a real senior citizen before I know it :( Enjoy it while you can because it does slowly go away......
