"Top Ten"

I had a great post inspiration this morning.  It came to me while putting my socks on after my swim.  It was gonna be great in light of my recent reflections on age.  It was gonna be called, 'The Top Ten Ways You Can Tell You're Still Young and Healthy'.  I didn't quite know what it would look like, but whenever I've tackled a top ten list I've always managed to put something together.  I tucked the idea aside, with the intent of coming back to it a little later in the day.  When I finally sat down with pen and paper, I came up with a whole bunch of great ideas.

And I could share them all with you, but I suddenly realize I have a problem.  The idea of the list would have been not just to inform, but also to prove that I still qualified.  Alas, I found my self laughing at my list, because that is simply not the case.  While I came up with lots of examples that proved my fitness, they didn't necessarily provide evidence of youth.

And so I choose to forgo the list, with the exception of the very item that inspired me in the first place.  I think this one is irrefutable evidence of both fitness and youth, and furthermore it is one that I can attest to being within my capabilities.

So without further ado, I give you the number one way you can tell you are still young and healthy.
