    Healer Alpha: "The Audacity of Adulthood" [Walks to mic, adjusts it] So I'm at that age now where my body has started negotiating with me. Not in a dramatic way. Just little passive-aggressive comments. Like I'll stand up from the couch and my knee goes "…interesting choice." Not a pain. Just a remark.
