LISTEN TO YOUR BODY -  Opening Segment (Scroll down for earlier chapters)


      I’m not certain when the transition took place, but at some point in life I began dressing like an “old man.” 

     I know this to be true because every morning when I get dressed, my wife will ask, “Are you going to wear those clothes?” 

     “No, I was just putting on a fashion show.”

     “Well, those are definitely out of fashion.  They look like ‘old man’ clothes.”

     I have no idea what “old man” clothes look like, but my wife can spot them from a hundred yards in a thick fog. 

     Having been in the clothes section of Macy’s on numerous occasions, I’ve never seen the section for “old men.”  So I have no idea how “old man” clothes got into my wardrobe.

     I’m just thankful I can still dress myself, although that could change quickly if I don’t learn to identify “old man” clothes, and find something else to wear.

     All of this has prompted me to work harder at maintaining a youthful appearance.  But in my effort to look younger, I’ve learned it was much easier when I was sixteen; and less costly.

     After pricing wrinkle removers, face lifts, hair transplants, tummy tucks, and baggy pants, I now know why people are aging; they can’t afford to maintain youth.  
 
     Growing up, I never gave much thought to aging.  I figured I could do that when I was older and had more time.
