well I'm old

In two [2] days I'll be 58 yr. of age . It really didn't feel like it took 58 yr. to get here but yet here I am. How come I remember the confusion and greif that I felt through most of my highschool days as clearly as if it were this afternoon but, I can't remember what I said or did yesterday. That is of course some what of a falsehood but, you that are going through it know exactly what I mean. I don't feel any older than I did when I was 17 , most of the time.Untill I try jogging a mile, I pick up something too heavy, I try digging a hole in my back yard with a shovel. I try to remember the name of the person that was introduced to me 5 minutes ago.Or remember my own cell phone no. But it has come in handy a couple of times . When ask why I didn't take out the trash or pick up that mess in the door way, or build that new set of cabinets my wife wants .The answer is easy,well I'm old
