        Hey Rod, I'm 62 and can't do any of those bloody things. How'd you get them back,.

        Or is this a Halloween trick?

            You forgot to add:
            I am prone to making lists denying any age related shortcomings.
            Not that there's anything wrong with that :_0

              Well Rod, this is encouraging news for me.
              I am having another birthday tomorrow and even though I have had a good run through my 20's providing me with many great experiences (and a few bad), as well as a lovely wife and 2 fine sons, I feel as though my youth is escaping me too soon. I realize there is no switch that turns leaving me an old man at midnight, (at least until the 68th b-day), But the big #30 has kinda got me down. As I look at my soon to be 4Year old son I cannot help but to think about how fast the years seem to go by...

                And there is no evidence of being in a second childhood like, say, recently buying a new Vespa......
