The Cat in the Hat on aging

[trekgeezer]

Okay, you whipper-snappers have me feeling my age tonight , so I'm letting Dr. Seuss explain things to you.  I have to say that I'm not anywhere near what he's talking about yet.

[Andrew]

Hey, I'm with you Trek.  These days, after running  7 or 8 miles and doing several sets of push-ups, pull-ups, and sit-ups, I actually feel pretty tired.  Heck, playing paintball all day in the heat with my nephews left me a little thirsty and I was sore in one or two places the next day when I went for my run.

I'm not helping, am I?  Give me sixteen more years, when all the children will be in their late teens and I'll be feeling it then.

Well, ya'll have depressed me enough for tonight. I guess I'll put my teeth in their glass and turn in. It is after nine o'clock here you know.

That doesn't take old age.  An early bedtime is caused by children, too.

I probably won't get this exactly right so please bear with me,
Though we are not that strength which once moved heaven and earth,
We are still of one heart and mind,
To seek, to strive, and not to yield.
That's how I feel about getting older.

[Trevor]

I'm turning 40 next month, but I feel that I still have the same enthusiasm for life and energy to do things like I had when I was 39.

Yeah Andrew, you have a lot of years with sleepless nights ahead of you.
