Brisk day. Winter is certainly coming to Roanoke. I zip up my coat as I accelerate my pace down Church Street. But it’s not too cold. I can still admire my profile as I pass the abandoned storefront’s window. Firm chin. Prominent nose. All good. New pants. Let’s see how they’re holding up. Nicely snug in the crotch. What the ffffffffffff …?
Where the hell is my ass? I used to have one. I remember it fondly. Many women, and even more men, commented on it favorably. It was firm and round and, dare I say, juicy. But where is it now?
As president of Pungent Sound Community Bank, I’m a man accustomed to acquiring things. Ties, shoes, automobiles, boats, homes, sexual partners, penicillin. The list goes on and on. But is this what I can expect as I approach my winter years? A gradual loss? Incremental divestments and shedding? Have I wasted my life on meaningless acquisitions that I will inevitably lose?
At least my mane remains full and majestic. I’m a Blue Ridge Mountain Lion. Let’s take a quick look. What the . . . what’s happening to my hairline? When did that start? Motherfffffff …….

Haha. That would be a lot of work for me, and I’m quite lazy.

Could i suggest developing a sense of humor? Or do you think it’s too late for that?

Haha. Yes, sadly, it is far too late for that.

That is very sad.
As you well know I have not been backwards in offering a refreshed direction that could re-arouse that basic human attribute. But I surmise that you may have been too dispirited to even consider such a freely offered tonic.
Meanwhile – I am sure I am joined by many others in wishing you well. And – may we dare to hope- a speedy recovery?
