For nearly an hour it’s been the 1st of December and that means the Scientist has reached his half-century. He’s feeling kind of old now. His hair is probably more gray than not these days and his mental faculties aren’t as sharp as they once were. Which is to say they are pretty sharp compared to most people but have slowed down a bit in recent years. The body parts are more prone to aches and pains too. But like me, he’s been working out six days a week and unlike me he has been quite particular with his diet. In three months, he has lost 11kgs. He’s looking far better these days and I look forward to seeing the further effects of his efforts. Even though we don’t work out exactly together the whole time, it’s become quite a nice habit to go to the gym every day and spend an hour or so. We have joked that it’s almost like a second home…With further thought, I might add that it’s like a second home with too many visitors at times. :D

Happy birthday to my partner in life!
