Since I try to be back I can as well chime in here too!
So 50 huh???
I am 52 now and of course things changed a lot in my body!
Me too have inherited a cholesterol anomality (from my mum).
Unfortunately a diet is not an option!
For two reasons: it will noet have enough effect!
And a diet would bring me into an eating scheme that is in no way social acceptable for me.
Brother Joey said wise words.
I don't intent to look back.
I don't compare to what was.
I understand the melancholic feeling.
I can still be excited for what is in the future for me!
I still love to meet new people, man and women, musicians, singers, writers, scientist.
OK ...age put limits ...but then there is something to push.
My limits are more musical now.
I am with Bill on that (well on more than that. I am quite Billish tough no guitarplayer).
About food?
If you have no ethical problems with it: eat what you like.
But (there is always a but) to quote an old latin saying:
quantum est venenum.

Oh BTW Joey: did you receive my mail package?
