I noticed something slightly depressing about myself yesterday. I used to be one of those people who took stairs in leaps and bounds, 3-4 stairs at a time on the way up and basically a controlled fall on the way down. I was trudging up the stairs to work yesterday morning and realized that it had been literally ages since I had last done that in either direction. Without even really noticing I have been slowing down. Of course I forced myself to bound up and down stairs for the rest of the day and subsequently managed to screw up my knee taking a long set of marble stairs. Aging sucks I tell you, we need to get Bush out of office quick so the gene therapy/embryonic fetus researchers can get to back to work 😉
