Every moment is a little bit later

My milestone birthday came and went, and I'm no different.   A little worse for wear, but wearing it well.

Last night I played my first game in a 40+ hockey league.  Moving to this league wasn't to score more against aged opponents.  I would have stayed 35+, but Monday night just works better.   Most of the people on my team are now 50+.    They look older - much like teenagers did when I was in elementary school and college kids looked in high school.    I'll fit in some day.   We won the game.   I didn't register a point.

The kid's are still at an age where every birthday is a milestone, so the wait for my next milestone birthday should be fun.   Living vicariously is fine, in moderation.    Maybe I can play hockey with my kids in 2022.
