re: Signs you're getting older

the other night when i was watching the Property Brothers turn a dreary, outdated ranch-style home into a functional, contemporary masterpiece, i began to lightly trace the outline of my shaft with a couple of fingers on either side of it. then they revealed the big twist--they were able to salvage the original hardwood under the carpet and save the homeowners about $10k. i spent the rest of the night edging and thinking about how great of guys they are, because it's not every day you can do something like that for a family of 4.
