A drabble (100 words) about the unavoidable.

It's here again. Another birthday. Another year older. Wish I felt another year wiser, but so it goes. I try to stay healthy. I eat all the right stuff, I get an annual checkup, and I'd like to think I maintain a fairly calm attitude. I don't watch TV news, and I don't read newspapers or magazines. It's hard to know what's going on out there with my head in the sand, but that's probably a good thing.

And by the way, don't bother asking me my age, because I'll probably lie. If you were this old, you would too.
