I have zero aches and pains, but many of my contemporaries have all kinds of ailments, both physical and mental. I feel so very lucky and blessed.
I'm not a good example of aging either. At 45, I started going blind. I can still see perfectly greater than about 30 yards, inside of that, there is no telling what prescription I need to figure out what the **** is going on. At 50, the arthritis set in, hard.

I can still jog OK though. Between that and the fact that there aren't many geezers my age still running road races, I usually win an age group award when I get off my ass and enter a race.

Fortunately the place where I bought them ****ed up the prescription Oakley shades I ordered and I got them at just under half price.

It’s odd. Indoors I get the fishbowl effect. Like a dumbass, I forgot to take the progressives off and drove home, but no issues. No fishbowl effect.

I did play a few games last night an ran the table a couple of times. Wasn’t as easy as it normally is, but I did it with the glasses on.

My glasses have had no impact on my pool game. I suck with or without them. I see the shot, just can't make the shot.
