The downward side of the slippery slope

               Another one of our members has met that point in life where they "officially" enter the slippery slope to the end. Yes Curt Anderson has hit 50. The Official point where people say you are over the hill, Well I'd like to say that is crap. "Over the hill", "past his prime", and all such witticisms used when some one turns 50 are an out right lie. Lets face it everyone is on that slippery slope downhill before they ever hit 50, 50 is not middle aged, how many people actually live to be 100 years old? Damn few. And honestly who would really want to, the golden years is not a thing I am looking forward to seeing. Wearing diapers and eating pabulum, waking up in the middle of the night and having to go pee, then ... waiting to pee.
           So Curt don't worry that you are 50, look at all the things you can look forward to, there's retirement - being able to sleep in, then ride all day. The other thing you get to do is get closer to your doctor, there's a whole new direction in which he will be looking during your annual physicals. 
              Just remember, getting older is like living in a haunted house, a whole bunch of noises and smells which you just can't explain.
                                   Happy 50th,


        By the way, Dan D and myself will be joining you shortly. Hey... maybe we can get a group rate from the doc.
