Sucks Getting Old

I played softball with my cousins last night.

Nothing special happened...unfortunately we lost 9-7. I pitched well, fielded poorly, and went 3 for 3 with a double. But the mere act of running from home to 2nd on the double left me winded. 

And today, I could barely walk. My left heel is killing me, and I have no idea why. This is the weird and unexpected thing for me as I age...acquiring random injuries of unknown origin.

I have to run around tomorrow, too, as I coach my little one's softball team. Something tells me that an afternoon nap and beer may be in order.

You'll get used to it - punk! Oh, I see now. The big 5-0 is looming large on the horizon, isn't it? No sympathy from someone who can start to make out the bigger 6-0 in the distance.

Well, I hit 5-0 way before you hit 6-0.
