Tomorrow Mike and Chris will turn 24; at the end of this month is Xander's 7th birthday, and in September I'll turn 60. All these birthdays have got me thinking about aging; what I like best about it and what I like least.
The thing I like best? I like that I'm about to turn 60. I hated turning 50, but for some reason, I have a feeling of optimism about turning 60 that I haven't felt since I was turning 21...
The thing I like least? Stepping on the scale. When I do that, I'm shocked by how much stronger the Earth's gravitational pull becomes each year as one grows older (thanks, Dave Barry, for pointing this out to all of us).

I suffer a similar problem in reverse. The older I get, the less I suffer from gravitational pull, as evidenced by the hair "falling out" of my head:)
