- PASSIONS - PILLS - PRAYERS

Phases of life in the key of "p" if you please.

PASSIONS - Fun activities performed in the early times of our lives. The phase when our youthful pleasures are never quenched. The great phase when superb sex, boundless energy, friends, huge platters of rich food, good smokes, and copious servings of alcohol and drugs grace our lives.

PILLS - The middle time of life when our passions begin to dull and fade in climaxes and endurance. The time when our physicians begin prescribing pills to keep some things up and other things down. Medications become the unfulfilled hope of better days. The uncomfortable period when our best attempts to revive the passions of youth end in total exhaustion or embarrassment.

PRAYERS - A constant quiet activity we adopt during our senior years. The time when we beg God to allow us the tiny joy of at least remembering our past pleasures and how to open the damn pill bottles.

It's OK as we traverse the Final Lap to revel in the dark humor of our frailty.
