...you go to a climbing website and the banner ad is for 'Pee-Proof Underwear'. And of course the model is sporting a big tattoo so it's like you're cool even though you're pissing in your pants. Crikey shoot me f*#king now.

hiking poles
sun hats
flat water kayaking

are things I’m way into now.

You know most of the side effects on the geriatric medicines that advertise on Jeopardy! but can't recall the questions to the answers nearly so fast anymore.

When you've just sent out invitations to your 85th birthday:

Notice of Intent to Celebrate

The City of Bishop and outlying regions are hereby forewarned that all friends, passive enemies, relatives, ex-employees, and those perpetually in need are invited to:

after which the “every ten years” plan was changed to the “every 5 years” plan and now the 85th is happening … and for obvious reasons all future parties will be held annually … I’ll try to be there.


WHEN: Saturday, January 27th, beginning about 6 PM

WHERE: Mill Creek Station

WHAT: Potluck, byob, climbing audio-visuals, good times

WHY: Why not?

When bodily pain streams for you 24/7 in 3-D, 8K UHD TV (a.k.a. Super Hi Vision) with 22.2 surround sound, while kinesthetic joy is relegated to an unavailable monaural broadcast which once played on a tube amp radio, now sitting on a shelf in the garage behind stacks of old newspaper, covered in a mantle of dust, with a severed power cord.
