As we get older that realization hits all of us. I've had back pain for 30 years. Early on I could just push through it. At some point I had to get honest with myself and that there's just stuff I can't do anymore and I have to ask for help which I used to never do. I've found that to be more common with other aspects of my life. I've just come to accept I'm not near the man I used to be physically or even mentally.

Well great, I have physical decline to look forward too as well. Just when I was working on being able to do handstand pushups again (its been 20 years). I am actually close, but I probably need to drop down to at least 250 before I am successful.

I did decide against getting back into playing lacrosse... I remember playing pickup games with older guys when I was in college. One time a guy looked at me and said "dont hit me, I have to work on monday". That resonates now.

I hurt my wrist opening a bag of chips not long ago.

Existence is what you make of it. Not every month or even day is going to be good but really how bad do you have it overall? I have moments but my life is pretty awesome for the most part. Not by some people's standards but if it isn't awesome it's because I'm not making it awesome.

But what is "awesome?"

This year I made it a point to go to concerts and to get out and enjoy things while I can. The Tool concert was a problem for me because of the drunken clown behind me yelling "let's go!" and blowing pot smoke on me all night. I believe that I posted about it here.

Roger Waters was just O.K.

Cubs game. A guy behind me was yelling about how Jason Hayward was only playing because "they can run but they're not smart enough to be great." The usher was laughing it up with him. The African American family sitting next to me, and I didn't appreciate it.

Went to see "Devotion" with my Dad. I don't want to spoil the movie but there were racial slurs/insults etc. and you would have thought that we were seeing a comedy the way that half of the theater was yukking it up.

The last funeral that I went to was my childhood best friend's father a couple of years ago. We were only allowed in to the funeral home a few at a time because of restrictions. At his own father's funeral my friend started talking about how he wished that they would just open everything back up because COVID was only killing "________." I haven't seen anybody from that group since.

My other group of friends hosted an early Christmas party last week. One of them got drunk and started talking about how a certain group of people don't work and get everything free from the government and she has nothing but works so hard. Her husband hasn't worked since COVID started, their kids are on Medicaid or whatever, and they get assistance with their heavily autistic son. But it's that other group that gets everything.

At stores, people act like they're competing for the products on the shelves. At Costco I saw a five and a half foot tall cat tower and I took a picture for my sister. A woman saw me do that and she hugged it and started yelling for help like she was being assaulted. It was over the top. I walked away and went back after somebody put it on a cart for her and I went to get the other one and she did it again. If she wanted both why didn't she have the employee put both on the cart in the first place?

Every day my boss tells me who he thinks needs to be "shot." His gem from the other day was telling me, after the earthquake in California this week, that he hopes that the whole state would slide into the ocean.

Everywhere that I go, that has people, is full of self-centered, rude, obnoxious loudmouths. I'm not convinced that there's a place with enough decent people to make the jerks seem to be outliers. I know that there isn't such a place within driving distance to my job.

Only you can define awesome. Personally I'm finding the less I'm around people the more awesome my life gets. These days I only need my wife and kids and prefer only their company. I used to enjoy hanging out with a bunch of people but times and situations change. I don't need or even want that any more.

Earlier my daughter asked if she could have a coke zero. I go out later and see this in the garage. Mind you I already had an open box in the garage fridge. Who doesn't know how to properly open a coke 12 pack? The thing has perforated lines on it to guide you. People wonder why kids drive parents to an early grave haha
