You know how when you start wrapping Christmas presents you have all the good intentions of being neat with your technique.
You cut the paper to just the right size. You make nice creases in the paper and use the right amount of tape.
You know when you have been wrapping presents for about an hour and since you’re on the floor and you’re getting old and you did have that back...

A surgeon went to check on his blonde patient...
She was awake, so he examined her.
“You’ll be fine,” he said.
She asked,
“How long will it be before I am able to have a normal sex life again doctor?”
The surgeon seemed to pause, which alarmed the girl.
“What’s the matter Doctor? I will be all right, won’t I?”
He replied,
“Yes, you’ll be fine..

What Happened?
So my daughter pulled out some photos from the first couple years of her life and I made the following observations:
My hair actually had color! At least I still have the same amount. But I am starting to come to the realization that I’m much more “salt” than “pepper”.
I used to be skinnier.
What was I thinking with those eyeglass frames? Eh, it WAS the early...
