I'm confused by gravity.

Not the Newtonian laws of "what goes up must come down" or inertia.  I've seen Dancing with the Stars.  I understand bodies in motion.

No, what I mean is; what the hell is up with my face?

Yes, I'm firmly ensconced in middle age, but I stay hydrated.  I moisturize.  Sun screen has been my friend since I was in high school and I even sleep on my back, as experts have said that sleeping on one's face causes it to hang in unbecoming folds.

So why is the Crypt Keeper leering back at me from the mirror every morning?

I'm as young as I ever will be first thing in the morning, yet I look older, much older than I will after I've had some coffee. Hence my confusion.

Maybe it's not gravity I'm confused about but the time/space continuum.  Maybe, like Merlin, I'm aging backwards, but only within the course of each day.

Or maybe I just need more coffee.
