28% of people bake and eat the pumpkin seeds after they carve a pumpkin.  Usually I do, but this year, I wasn't able to carve my pumpkin.  Instead, the squirrels did.  So what does this have to do with getting old?  Well it's what I did with the pumpkin afterwards, and what I started doing with my leftovers.  I went from telling stories about my drinking days to.... this.
