I am definitely my late father's son: same face, same shape of eyes, same crooked grin. Built the same, but 2 inches taller. The only real differences in us physically is hair and eye color, both of which I got from my mother.

As I age, I see the biggest resemblance is feet. Yes, they look the same and are actually a size bigger than my late dad's. I notice more and more the greatest 'sameness' is temperature. You could walk past my dad in the summer when he was kicked back in his recliner and touch the bottom of his feet and they would be icy cold.

I have had a reminder today. It's 75 degrees and here I am in t-shirt, shorts... and socks, because my feet are cold.

I can live with having the same looks, the same groans and mannerisms. But cold feet I can do without.

And if all I have to complain about is cold feet, then life is going just fine.

Yeh, cold feet is an age thing, usually because of poor circulation they say, which is usually because of high cholesterol levels and that sort of diet related stuff they say - or at least that's what they tell me - Eat fish instead of red meat and dairy for hotter feet they say. Happy days :D

Nope, I've had cold feet my whole life. My Dad said he had, too. It's not diet, it's generic.
