Time marches on

Valerie Bertinelli is on the cover of this month's AARP magazine.

::ponders::

I mean, I've slowly adjusted to the fact that many of my favorite songs are 20-30 years old, and that I've been working at the same company for almost 23 years, and that I am now old enough to be a member of AARP. But I will admit that this one gets to me. It doesn't help that the woman looks 25. I'm sure there's some Photoshop being committed, but she still looks great.

Sean Penn turns 50 this year, too. Spicoli.

Yes, I will admit that I have not yet adjusted to the whole 50+ thing. Don't tell me that the alternative sucks. I know the alternative sucks. It still doesn't help me adjust to the fact that I hit the downward side of the slope some time ago.

And on that cheery note, back to work...

Two months ago, the local Oahu one-man paddling championship was won by a woman who is our age. And she won it decisively, and beat the male 50+ winner. Later, in the solo Molokai-Oahu race (considered the world championship of outrigger one man paddling) she came in third overall in the women. So - yes - we can be in the best shape of our lives.
