In addition, my skin has become so pale that people put on sunglasses when I pass. I am not the only person to suffer these indignities. In the life cycle of men and women, we have hit one of those periods when women generally become trimmer and more beautiful, and guys start oozing out of their clothes. I have seen men my age wearing socks and sandals at the same time. I have seen old friends diving into the pool clad in what appear to be recycled maternity frocks.
Some guys don baseball caps or tennis caps.
Some affect coolness by slapping on headgear from scenic resorts. They don't want to sunburn their scalps. I confess these things here because it's my only outlet. Guys never talk about stuff this personal. Women discuss their physical and mental woes in horrific detail, but guys communicate through grunts and winks.
