I completed another good year and I\u2019m finally as old as the old people I used to think were old.\u00a0\u00a0I read that 60 was the new 50 and 70 was the new 60, but 80 is 80.\u00a0\u00a0I understand.\u00a0\u00a0Age is interesting.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019ve never been a big fan of Dr. Seuss, but I like the following: \u201cHow did it get so late so soon.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s night before its afternoon. December is here before it is June.\u00a0\u00a0My goodness how time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon.\u201d When I shared with a friend that I had observed a big birthday, he responded, \u201cYou\u2019ve got lots of gas left in the tank.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Maybe so, but the tank is amazingly closer to Empty than it was a few years ago.\u00a0\u00a0Plus, have you checked the cost of gasoline lately?\u00a0\u00a0But time has definitely \u201cflewn.\u201d Long-time announcer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Vic Scully said, \u201cIt\u2019s a mere moment in a man\u2019s life between an All-Star Game and an Old-Timers Game.\u201d The only All-Star Game I was ever in, I sat on the bench, but I\u2019ve been to enough Old-Timers Games to know what that looks like.\u00a0\u00a0Keeping the baseball analogy, my desire is to slide, full-speed into Home Plate, rather than dying on third base. However, I must join the Psalmist, and say to the Lord, \u201cMy times are in Your hand\u201d (Psalm 31:15).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
