Thu Jan 15 13:39:50 EST 2015

Here's a cheerful, positive, and uplifting thought - you will never be as young as you are today. You will never feel as good as you do today. >From here on out, it's all downhill!

So enjoy your aches and pains today - tomorrow they'll get worse!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming...

is another matter entirely.
