Signs You're Getting Old

The Costco coupon booklet arrives and I get a little excited. Ugh

My brother and I played in two on two hoops tourney for charity. Won it all but legs were sore for two weeks. Was nice beating those whippersnappers in their 20's.
 
Can't hear anything you just said...please don't talk with your back to me. Couldn't read the thread until I grabbed my 1.50 reading glasses. Still got some game at nearly 57 and love to hike for days with plenty of pack, but there is payback afterwards. I guess sooner or later my scoliosis, will put the quits to serious physical activity, but I am not going down without a scrap.
 
I stay young (at age 64) by teaching 6th graders. It actually helps...but I am apparently getting stupider as I age.
Example: every year, I'm the announcer at our middle school 8th grade basketball games, and I truly enjoy it. This year, however, I thought it'd be a good idea to play on the faculty team that plays them every year prior to season starting.
Yeah, that was a great idea.
 
What about that gottdamn 2" cheek hair that sprouts overnight out of nowhere and flails like the wind the next day? Similar to those gottdamn wiry eyebrows that bamboo shoot out inexplicably quick.

Check on the 48 hr hangovers that used to be 12 (I used to like Sundays, hate them now)
Check on the prostate piss dribbles (still fighting to deny that, as I now have more "courtesy and patience" in my aim)
Check on random shoulder,shin, elbow, cankle joint that hurts for no reason other than chucking a beer at midgets with canes.
Check on hating social media (I'm a GenXr, I loathe trends, so F you, I'm not weird, but...but...antisocial used to be cool)
Check on not shutting bars down at 3-4am. I'm done by 10 and would rather be on a back porch in front of a fire pit with a small circle of friends.
Check on loving the tailgate before the game, rather than the parties after.

Things that haven't changed-

Check on don't GAF on what I wear out in public. Boardshorts from the rack, random tshirt, flip flops are my attire other than work or events.
Check on hitting on young tail, hopefully that will never end.
Check on watching CFB and getting excited every year no matter what.
