I noticed it last night while brushing my teeth, but I hoped it was just because I was tired. After seven solid hours of sleep, I could no longer pretend it might be something else.

Yes, I have a new wrinkle. Actually, it’s about three new little lines, horizontally across the bridge of my nose. They appear to have been the result of a stealth attack.

A variety of creams, plenty of drinking water, and the daily use of 30 SPF sunscreen, even in the winter, have been part of my wrinkle prevention arsenal for years. But I know that I am fighting a losing battle.

I guess worse things could happen…and they will.
