I don't miss zits.

Or the teenage social scene.

Cheers!

Rock on!

Bikes are the best thing for fitness -- except look out for the cars and other cyclists ;-)

Fish oil and stretching help too.

Cheers!

I don’t know about that. When you’re young and good looking, everyone thinks about you. I just did my niece’s senior portraits (I do photography). She was young and beautiful, and everyone paid attention to her. When I was a teenage guy, I was considered good looking, and women paid attention to me. As we age, people pay less attention to us. Many many moons ago I wrote a little riff on milestones in life, and remembered my mom talking about how devastating it was the first time she walked past several Marines and they got quiet and respectful.

My only child turns 40 in three days.

Hey. Congrats!
I have one 46 YO and one 44 YO.
4 grandkids and 1 great grandkid.
Back when I was in my 20's I just couldn't imagine being 60.
Now that I'm well into my 60's I can't imagine how I "survived" my 20's.
(Ya couldn't pay me enough money to relive my 20's again or my 30's either for that matter)
ROTFL!!!

Good Job! At least your ‘child’ was raised with enough common sense that he/she made it this far...and with some Grace. ;)
