In the Rear-View Mirror

Used to take a while
  to work up a sweat
Had to jog a few miles
  or sprint like a jet…

Well, those days disappeared
  in the rear-view mirror
Now I sweat climbing stairs
  that I’m older is clearer

I am so THERE too. Just peek in your rear-view mirror, and you'll see me fast approaching. ~ Howling Wolf

If we didn't age, we may never recall what youth was like. Good fun G.W.!...ab

How about this: Let's 'youth,' and we'll all reminisce about what age was like! Sounds like a plan to me, Anselmo.
