Sometimes I yearn to step on the brake and yank back the speed of time.  Why must the seconds slip through our fingertips?   This day the grass is green, the birds singing, the children's laughter ricocheting off the gentle breeze.
  Maybe I've just seen too many action movies that make me want to go into some battle and be cool and young.  Maybe I've read too many romantic books involving teenage heroes.  Maybe I'm just being weird. But I guess I'll just have to be as adventurous as possible while- what?  My knees still work?  I can eat without getting fat?  I guess so.
