How was the fishing?
Suffice it to know that I gained 23 pounds in 3 weeks.
But I’m hardly the first to discover that girth fuels mirth in old age as much as muscle fuels hustle in youth. So count me among those aging with grace and humor.
I won’t break any sweat worrying about those pounds — because at 63, life really is too short. I’m all too mindful that my Mummy died far too young. She was 63.
