Whoever thought that OLD AGE  would be so SNEAKY???
Noooo, I thought somebody would ring a bell or make an announcement or even throw a small party designating, "You are Now a Geezer". 
But nothing of the sort happened.
First a small ache or pain. Then a slowdown of this ability or that. Nothing serious.
Then...um, I forget..Oh yeah,that part of it,  Forgetfulness. 
But then again, God reminds us. Subtly of course...but that's Gods way, isn't it. 
Awakening in the middle of the night to pee...The inability to find your car in some massive parking lot...the diminished capacity to hold alcohol or the crushing reaction to it. 
No longer the Life of the Party...more likely to be dozing off somewhere in a corner. Bummer. 
But recently God has been issuing more specific warnings of my mortality.                            Clear but unmistakable. Clear but unmistakable...even if I can't interpret it correctly. 
FIRST: My burners on the electric range stopped functioning. All but one. Eh...no problem.
SECOND: My microwave stopped working to heat up my lunch or late nite tea. Hmmm... 
Y'think God is telling me something?? (Not about electrical appliances..more about longevity?) Careful how you answer this one...it affects whether I buy green bananas or not. (Geo. Burns.)
