A Wrinkle In Time

The other day I was performing one of those necessary but unpleasant tasks: looking in the mirror.
While doing so I noticed that I had a new feature, a new distinguishing mark, a new line...*sigh* a new wrinkle.
They say that men look "distinguished" as they get older.
I began the process of becoming distinguished when I was 21 and I had my first gray hair pointed out to me.
That lonely gray hair didn't remain lonely for long, and now that aging has pretty much conquered the top it's continuing its march downward and is laying claim to the rest of my head.
Still, it could be worse. I could be having night sweats and hot flashes...

You're still older and grayer and unless I tell someone - they'll never know I have hot flashes and night sweats. There have only been a few recently, if you care...

This is true...but then again, when you're standing in a 60-degree room fanning yourself like some Southern matriarch with "the vapors," people might
pick up on the fact that you're having a flash...
