Birthday Thoughts

"You'll be older too." (No, I'm not 64 yet).

Another year, another birthday.  This year is 63, which for some reason seems a lot older than 62.

It’s funny, when I started my InstaPundit blog I was 40, which means that I’ve been blogging for more than a third of my life.  (And more than half of my adult life).  At 40 you can still be boyish;  maybe even a bit at 50.   Not at 63.

Physically, I don’t feel old.  I’m stronger than I was in my twenties, and in less pain.  In my twenties I was using a computer even more than I do today, I wasn’t exercising, and I had no idea about proper posture, rest breaks, and so on.  My back hurt, my neck hurt, I had shooting pains and numbness in my hands, and a variety of related symptoms.
