Weiner schnitzel

I don't know if it's old age or what, but certain things seem to be slipping my mind recently. Actually, things have been slipping my mind for the past couple of years. My theory is that life expectancy used to be only 35 give or take, so that in reality I have reached old age. Much like the "wall" long distance runners must break through to continue their run, I think 35 is like the "wall" you have to break through in order to obtain your "second wind" in life, which will take you till 50 or 60 or something, I have no idea when the next wall hits, as I am but I mere child.

But, yes, a child at his first round of old age. And as one of the elderly, me mind ain't what it used to be. One thing I have specifically noticed, something that seems to be increasing in frequency, is my habit of not zipping up my fly after using the bathroom. I dunno what it is -- I go to the bathroom, I wash up, I leave the bathroom, and I enter the world... totally exposed. Well, not totally, I do wear boxers, but still. Luckily, because of this, I have also gotten into the habit of verifying my state of zipp'ed ness, so my reign of indecency typically doesn't make it more than a few steps passed the bathroom door, where I question aloud my sanity: "what the hell?" And ponder my mental deterioration.

Either that or I'm just an exhibitionist at heart and never realized it.
