  • When I was a child, my Aunt Jean used to often tell me that
    the first thing “to go” on a man is his knees. 

    Once, I asked as a rejoinder, “What’s the first thing ‘to go’ on a woman?”  And she shot me back a look of angry drilling
    eye daggers.  “Women don’t discuss such
    things with men…or boys,” was her response. 

    I learned then that the world wasn’t a level playing field.  Some matters of knowing and intelligence
    would become available only at a high premium, if at all.  So I had better keep my knees strong and
    healthy.

    I’ve completed my running for this week and have exceeded my
    goal of 27 miles by a mile.  A couple of
    weeks ago, I had a goal of 26 miles that I exceeded by a mile.  An “exceed by a mile” pattern appears to have
    crept into my routines. 

    But I’m suspicious of patterns that creep. 
    Could they not suggest some sort of alien subliminal influence at
    work?  Or at least a touch of remote
    programming?  Beware.  Take care.  Ignore alien orders!

    Examine your life.  Know your aspirations.  Strive to meet or exceed your goals.  But keep the aliens out.  And above all, keep your knees strong.  (This advice may not apply to women since I
    never did learn what on them is the first “to go”.)
