If shrinking is part of the deal as my birthdays pile up then it’s only fair I have a say in what shrinks. I’m all for a shrinking middle, a minimized keester, and less flab on the parts that used to be flab-free.
The bad news is it doesn’t seem to work like that.
Once a year, I’m forced to face the truth when I show up for measuring under duress — my annual physical.
The first measurement is the dreaded scale. I don’t know why they don’t take my word for it like the DMV does. My driver’s license claims my weight hasn’t changed in 20 years.
