Nearing the End of my Natural Life


After 48 years of never having played the only sport sponsored by Funeral Homes and Prepaid Burial Plans, I am finally breaking down and playing Lawn Bowls for our office fun function this afternoon.

I associate bowls with old geezers. Both my uncle and my grandfather took it up in their retirement. That said, my wife's team won her office competition drinking session last year, so there is hope for me yet.

I suppose it is inevitable that I have to give up tossing the caber and putting the shot some day. I will just have to ease into it gradually. After all there is free beer to mask the impending onset of virtual old age.
