Commentary—
TAKE THAT AGE
There are many things we all could live without. We
are a spoiled bunch, most of us. We have these little
trinkets of silver, whole bunches of shiny objects to
“ooooooh” and “aaaaaah” about. But likely, in day-to-
day survival and existence, almost none of it is worth
anything. Not a dang bit. We know this, all of us, for
when the moment comes, how we would give it all
away for something like ‘time’ or someone very dear,
and real.
Right now, at this moment at least (for who knows
what the next will reveal) it is my sight. We all have
multiple issues that we could lay on the table and say
this is me; this is what I need to exist; this is what I
would give all my worldly possession to have, or
have back. Me too. But right now, in a giddy, almost
child-like fervour, I am thinking about my sight. Be-
cause very shortly, I am getting some of it back.
For me to exist I need words. I won’t bore you with
how much I need words. I can say I was never al-
ways like this, except for my entire adulthood. Grow-
ing up I preferred devouring the dolts who cut the ice
at alarming speeds as they skated down the rink
thinking they could score on me. Me was “He-Man”,
thinking it was a personal insult they even would try.
And I treated them as such. But even then...after the
game faces were gone, the smelly bags packed, and
the long drive home, staring through the backseat
window at the streetlights whish by...I needed some-
thing more powerful. Word.
But as with anything we abuse and take advantage
of, the things that are dear to us can go quickly or
slowly. Our health is no different.
And as the years pass, after having trouble remem-
ber the exact number of birthdays, other things be-
come apparent. Some mornings it is harder getting
out of bed; the accumulative bashing and stretching
done over the years requires more self-will and
thought to get the body going. You sit down a few
more times in the day just to assess the tasks at
hand, whereas before it was almost automatic. Just
a little breather I say. Or you don’t sleep at all.
Having put off the inevitable, we all (or most of us)
head off to the practitioner of those multi-syllabic
words while having the eyes shot at with puffs of air.
My regular glasses have reached their limit, warned
that the next step is the monumental jump to bi-
focal’s. But I want to ignore it. I don’t want to reach
that stage yet. I don’t want to nod my head repeat-
edly up and down like one of those bobble dolls so I
can focus on the menu in front of me.
In the office we come to the expected. I am used to
the sight I have, even if I get tired more often from
reading; even if I have to adjust the distance of the
book multiple times to retain focus. But sampling the
wares in this trophy room of eye-ware I experience a
moment of what life will be, once the lens's are
shaped and cut; “holy doo doo Batman...I can see.”
I have rediscovered what I lost over all those years of
aging and abuse.
So now I anxiously and happily await the arrival of
the bifocals. I am giddy with excitement (as giddy
and excited as I get). So, if you see this large-ess
person walking, continually nodding his head up and
down like he was agreeing to an imaginary friend,
don’t be surprised if he has a book in his hand, a grin
on his face, as he seemingly knowingly walks into a
wall.

Did you know….
"Flibbertigibbet" is one of
many incarnations of the Middle English word
"flepergebet," meaning "gossip" or "chatterer." (Others
include "flybbergybe," "flibber de' Jibb," and "flipperty-
gibbet.") It is a word of onomatopoeic origin, created
from sounds that were intended to represent meaning-
less chatter. Shakespeare apparently saw a devilish
aspect to a gossipy chatterer; he used "flibbertigibbet" in
King Lear as the name of a devil. This use never caught
on, but the devilish connotation of the word reappeared
over 200 years later when Sir Walter Scott used
"Flibbertigibbet" as the nickname of an impish urchin in
the novel Kenilworth. The impish meaning derived from
Scott's character was short-lived and was laid to rest by
the 19th-century's end, leaving us with only the "silly
flighty person" meaning.
