+Hurry up.
\n+Write it down.
\n+Just google it.
\n+Young people appreciate your wisdom, and are willing to do your manual labor.
\n+More lame jokes as knees get worse.
\n+If it weren’t for slow speed, I’d have no speed at all.
\n+Count your blessings—T-9, T-8, T-7, T-6 . . . all the way to LIFT-OFF (the best).
\n+I’m not half the man I used to think I wished I was.
\n+”Go with the wimp.”—–Bill Pruett, responding to my complaint feeling like a wimp.
\n+”As your days, so shall your strength be.”—–Jesus (OK, God, I’ll take Your Word for it.)
\n+Getting older, getting slower, faster.
\n+”When I am weak, then I am strong.”—–Paul (Sure need that to be true.)
\n+”First shall be last—last shall be first.”—–Jesus (Looking forward to the rest of THAT story.)
\n+”. . . He will teach you all things, and bring all things to your memory, whatever . . .” (Alzheimer’s Bible verse)
\n+Laugh at peer pressure—or cry for lack of peer pressure.
\n+Embarrassment doesn’t matter so much anymore (unless no one notices, to laugh with you).
\n+Memories.
\n+Short-term memory goes first—no problem, it’s just the issue of things that happened over thirty seconds ago.
\n+”How are you doing?” becomes a multiple choice question.
\n+Was ok—got over it.
\n+God’s opinion—my opinion. (Which is a laughing matter?)
\n+”Let no one despise your youth.”
\n+”Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before . . .”
