That's what "JB" said the other day, when we were over for lunch visiting him and his lovely wife "A". "How are you?" prompted each of us to launch into a litany of aches, pains and related medications we were all on -- everything from hearts to backs to hips to blood pressure.
I have known this wonderful guy for.....wait for it....50 years. I know, can't believe it myself! "Oh, here comes another geezer alert," he exclaimed each time we ran through another diagnosis. In the bad old days, we used to talk about the latest wild party we had lived through; now it's body parts. Healthy though we all are -- thanks to the miracle of modern medicine -- we nonetheless carry around a few treatable burdens.
Weather update: Ottawa has been as cold as Calgary these last few days. Ugh.
