This afternoon I had the opportunity to have my annual eye exam. My eyes are healthy and all is mostly fine. I was motivated to schedule the appointment because my arms were no longer long enough to allow me to see close-up when wearing my glasses or contacts and because the DMV told me a few months ago that I missed a bunch of the things on their vision test, although they ultimately passed me.

Those two instances got me to thinking that maybe I’m hitting Middle Age. You know, those magical years between the days and nights when you could party and drink all night long with minimal repercussions the next day and the age when you qualify for Social Security. As I pondered this weighty topic today, I realized there are ten things that truly point to this new reality and lead me to believe it might not all in my head. Do you recognize any of them?
