I agree on the NSAID's. Several years ago I was eating 2 advil every morning for about 18 months for a severe case of tennis elbow. At my annual physical my kidney function was way down. I told my doctor about the advil and he basically said wtf was I thinking. You shouldn't be on advil or tylenol for more than a couple of weeks. Thankfully, there was no permanent damage and my kidney function bounced back.

This is one of my problems. But it’s so common I need to do better and not let it bother me.

Good stuff here. At my annual physical last month my VO2Max was just above 47. At age 62 this in the “superior” category. So I have that going for me, which is nice.

I think that's right. It was different for France in May/June 1940, but Churchill was very wise not to throw in the rest of the RAF when France was after him to do so when it was clear that France would fall within days. I don't think Ukraine is where France was in the summer of 1940.

The female thing is a whole different ball game. Menopause has done a number on my wife--especially in the libido department. It really sucks. That said, every woman is different. I have some friends whose wives are doing fine with hormone supplements or whatever it is they are taking. They still enjoy an active sex life. Others, not at all.

I think I posted this on the other health/age related threads, but I recommend the book Younger Next Year. It was written by a retired NYC lawyer from an old white shoe firm and his internist. Basically, it's eat healthy (no white starches, especially fried ones-ever, and eat lean protein and lots of fruits and veggies), exercise every day (30-45 minutes of cardio such as spinning), and lift weights 4-5 days a week to maintain strength. I follow my doctor's advice on supplements--he's big on vitamins C, D, and zinc to boost your bodies' natural immune system. The only time I got Covid he said to take mega doses of zinc, quercetin, and vitamins C and D. And get an annual physical and full body exams by a dermatologist at least once a year. Oh, and lose weight if you are overweight. My doctor friends say there's a reason you never see really old fat people.

77 yesterday with 3 birdies and 3 doubles. Lowest round I’ve played at my club.

Maybe I missed it, but are you in Texas? Twicehorn raised good points.

Ok. I’m cool with that.

Wait. So it’s not even possible that Annie, in fact, had complications from the shot? Sure, it’s extremely unlikely, but you must know that it does happen. Right?

Hogan’s Heroes was awesome.

My first game ever live at DKR (then called Memorial Stadium) was in 1980 vs. Arkansas my freshman year. We won but I forget the score. It was in August and it was ABC's college kick off game. It was glorious.

Brought a bunch back from Budapest in 2022. It’s very good. And Budapest is awesome.

Squirrel stew tonight!

Watching Michael Clayton again for the 20th time. Love this movie. Great performances by Clooney, Lord Cornwallis, and the Ice Queen bitch. And Sidney Pollock.
