About growing older

Those of you who read my newspaper column were promised the complete list of facts about growing older and ... here it is, as taken from the e-mail making the rounds.

Speaking of my column, A Texas Voice, I'm planning on posting some old columns here or on a separate site soon to make them easier to share. If there's one or more you'd like to see, leave a comment.

ABOUT GROWING OLDER...
First -- Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Second -- The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Third -- Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

Fourth -- When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

Fifth -- You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

Sixth -- I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

Seventh -- One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.

Eighth -- One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

Ninth -- Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Tenth -- Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.
