So are you 40 or 50? Doesn't matter. I remarried at 41. Best move I ever made.
What I'm noticing 30+ years later is that I can't seem to get shit done. I used to have a full-time job AND belonged to 5 choirs AND did crazy repairs around the house AND earned a master's degree AND had a teenage daughter AND...
At 73 I have no idea how I did all that. My days of cramming 10 pounds of shit into a 5 pound bag are way over. I can barely push out 1 story a month for Medium. I'm in 3 choirs and a brass band and it often feels like too much even though I don't have a job and my daughter is on her own.
Sitting cross-legged? I can't even come close. What's with these weird muscle spasms? And why are the stairs of the world so fucking steep?
I'm planning on biking to Boston Friday (60 miles) to take in a performance of Das Lied von der Erde. Wish me luck.
