T minus 9 days until I hit the big 4-0. It snuck up on me. As I painted our home room upon room, my body creaked and protested. Getting out of bed became a problemo. Bring on the Geritol, folks!

There once was an oldster named Mary
Who asked of her godmother fairy,
“I want to grow younger
and stave off my hunger.”
The fairy just laughed and said, “Scary!”
