Old Age

You know, I always heard about old people falling down and not being able to get up.. and breaking bones and such. 

Now I finally understand it. I couldn't understand it before.. but now I understand. 'cuz I'm living it. 

I went to the movies several weeks ago with a friend, and when I tried to get in his truck I fell over a bush that I was trying to climb over. I couldn't stop myself, and I stumbled on to the pavement.  

But what was most amazing is it took me a while to get up. And when I was falling I couldn't catch my balance. This would have NEVER happened 20-30 years ago. I would have done a back flip and landed on my feet with a TA DA!!! 

Have any of you ever seen that TV program with Red Fox, "Sanford and Son"??

Do you remember how he walked? Well, I'm walking the same way today. It ain't as funny as it used to be.
