Growing old

You know you’re growing old when:

• it’s Wednesday and your entire body aches from the hockey game you played on Monday
• your step-daughter’s friend calls you “old man”
• you start listening to CBC because you’re sick of hearing the same playlists on your usual radio stations (Q107 and CFNY)
• you notice that more hair is growing in your ears
• your barber offers to trim that hair
• your wife starts buying you clothes from The Bay and you don’t really mind
• your friend Heather, who hasn’t seen you in a year, immediately notices the gray hair taking over your head
• newspaper stories about guys having heart attacks from playing hockey become interesting news items
• staying up past 1 AM becomes a real challenge
• when you start to forget how old you are (37).

Stumble It!
