Things The Older Me Has No Need To Partake In Any More
Things that moved me when I was younger just don't do it any more. Plus, I wanted to use "partake" for a list.
These include...

1. Large crowds
Concerts, events, etc. Too much hassle, too much annoyance.
2. Fancy Foods
Nice, but don't have to go out of my way or into my wallet. A burger, pizza, or omelette are fine.
3. Dangerous Stuff
Zip lines, mountain biking, or anything with a real possibility of physical injury.
4. Fast / Fancy Cars
Just get me from point A to point B with no issues. Wouldn't say no to a vintage VW Thing or pre '69 Beetle, though.
5. Booze
Had to stop when on blood thinner over a year ago. Haven't felt the need to go back. Not a moral thing, just works for me.
6. Late nights
Not productive after 9pm. Only up late when out with friends, which is less often these days.
7. Fashion
I dress office casual most of the time. Shoes are inexpensive, comfortable slip-ons.
8. Computer Games
Bachelor me spent a good deal of time playing games on the PC. The son plays a lot of online games with his friends (and CTD with my brother sometimes), but I don't feel the draw any more.
9. Long Drives
Used to take long drives for the heck of it. Now, if I'm not going to or coming back from somewhere I need/want to go, I can pass on the drive.
10. Malls
Used to go a lot to window shop. Would easily get my steps in, if I was counting them back then. Now, all online. And getting steps in other ways.
