Scattered gray hairs on head and beard. At this point, they look kinda good because Iโ€™m mostly retaining my natural color.

Used to be super skinny. Metabolism slowed and I have a beer gut.

Far less interested in pursuing hobbies into the wee hours of the morning. I like to go to bed by around 1030pm and wake early even on weekends. I woke naturally at 6am today (Saturday).

Feel out of place in some younger crowds like concerts for young artists. We were definitely some of the oldest people at a 100 Gecs show.

  • In my teens and early 20s I used to enjoy snowboarding. I was never any good at it, but at least I could make it down the mountain. Tried again in my 30s, and I could barely even stand on the board. Never made it off the practice hill.

  • Getting in and out of cars is painful now. Especially since I drive 90s and 2000s Japanese sports cars, which have a tendency to sit so low that it feels like your ass is dragging on the pavement when you drive them. I have no idea how I'm going to be able to continue driving them 20, 30, 40 years from now. I don't want a giant modern car. Even sedans are SUV-sized these days.

62 years old. Boarding just a little (bunny slope) once or twice a year. Heading up next week.

My knee inexplicably hurt for a few days a couple weeks back.

I stepped out of a van wrong and completely tore my acl and mcl and partially tore my lcl (basically, fucked up my knee).

My (slightly) balding head.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ain't it brutal? They say if you haven't started balding at age 40, you probably never will, but I've known several people with a full head of lush hair at 40, and in their early fifties, it's all gone to hell.

It actually takes effort for me to get out of my car. Like I'm having to pull myself out.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

I don't get it, the year on the calendar keeps getting bigger, and I can't figure out why.

I feel sick all the time

It takes me longer to recover from the consequences of playing ice hockey.

The Baz Lurhman's Sunscreen Song is correct in every way.
