The Old Man and the Sea

I was out yesterday and stopped at Wendys for a salad.  The young cashier asked me, "did you used to play sports?"  i answered, 'yes.'  to which she responded, "What did you play BACK IN THE DAY ?"  

Back in the day?  Was it that long ago that i could 'sport?'  I still consider myself sporty.  I golf and bike ride.  Sometimes i go for a walk, hike, adventure.  Am i so old and washed up that things are now 'back in the day?'  

Maybe i need a haircut?  Perhaps my clothes make me look old and out of shape?  Is this what a midlife crises feels like?  Ouch - 'in the day.' 

Getting Old is not for sissies.
