Running Man

I mourn that I can't run like I once did.
There's no pain or anything causing limitations.
My knees just refuse to perform the required bending.
I'm reminded of the Seinfeld episode whereas they are running through an airport, Kramer tells George:  
          "You run like a girl."  ..... no offense intended towards girls. 
The only time I even attempt it anymore is when I want to get out of the cold.
I used to be proud of how fast I could get down the first base line. 
And the voice inside of me keeps putting the thought out there that I can still do it.
But my knees have declared: "Enough!!"
And what is more comedic than a (almost) 70-year-old man attempting a full sprint?

Other News and Notes .....
  • I wish I knew more words.
  • The stray cat that I've been feeding, is waiting at my front door when I arrive home most afternoons, I feed it, and after feasting it vanishes, leaving me feeling so used.
  • The co-worker has me figured out. He's observed that I can't wait for the office to clear out and the noise to fade away so I can do my duties in peace and quiet. 
  • Getting ready for work each morning has become a 77-step process, packed into ten frenzied minutes, all choreographed to arrive one minute before start time. 
  • My fortune cookie: "You could prosper in the field of education." Gee thanks!! I could have used that advice fifty years ago.
