Ah, the joys of getting less than younger. Why DOES this have to happen? I suppose it is better than the alternative, but still makes me vewy vewy angry...to quote a friend of ours from ohso many years back on a Saturday morn. Your Ferris line sure cracked me up to the Nth.
Glad you are still kickin butt in the exercise realm, it really does help. I've gone back to lifting weights again, though just on my own, since I don't dress correctly the part, and I like to do it on my own time, but it seems to really help a lot. Though as you say, the old comeback just ain't what it used to be. As they say, getting older sure isn't for sissies, and I am a big one. Though I am older than you too, so nanner nanner on that front...oh grow up, DD.

So glad you can find ways to keep fit though, and keeps our bones stronger too, which means less problems later on. Well, hope this finds you happy and healthy and only going 97 mph these days. Keep on keepin on, and keepin it as real as allowed or within the bounds of the law. Cheers from the west-side,
Ze Pan de Flatte.

PS.. I keep expecting a cliffside rodent to suddenly sploosh into the photo on top, but no matter how long I stare, all I get is immobile fishes. Large Sigh[HERE]
