“I’ve aged,
but grown up?
No”

~ Jake Lloyd
Actor
Born on: 5th March 1989

Porte Pondering:

Rickie is aging. This year he is 16. He was 5.5 when I got him and I’ve had him for 11 years. Even though he is aging (like we all are) he still often runs about like a puppy. Because he is small people assume he’s young so I always let them know how old he is.

Aging certainly isn’t for sissies.

The Betahistine shortage continues. Now there is none available in my area. So I will be trying a different medication to help with my Meniere’s. So I have one week of testing my blood pressure and waiting to see if it helps with the symptoms.

The picture I choose for today’s quote is one of my grandson playing soccer from 2023. He loves the sport. But as the quote from Knute Rockne says : If winning isn’t everything why keep the score?

Mine’s better. But here’s today’s AI image:
