My Phizog

My Phizog Strange what one remembers? after looking through Playboy magazine and skipping the dreary articles written by it founder I came across this quote: “every man over forty is reponsable for his own face.” at the time when reading it I was thirty and was not unduly worried, but now nearly 50 years later I recalled the saying. I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, no I didn’t look anything near forty, hair gone and sagging skin. Face-lift? Out of the question I had no desire to look like yesterday’s refry. I smiled, the face in the mirror too smiled, two old mates accepting each other’s elderliness and I came to the conclusion that I’m rather fond of my face.
