Seems Pertinent

 I'm no Pete Rose

I can't pretend

Though my mind is quite flexible

These brittle bones don't bend

I'm growing older but not up

My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck

Let those winds of time blow over my head

I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead

Realization

 My body cannot recover like it did 20 years ago.

One day of activity = 2 days of out of it

Probably should get back in 'shape' or whatever you'd call it...

Well, this was back in the day.....
