I just took a shot of myself where I look 30 years older and this is not an exaggeration. It's 4K, but I can scale it so I can post it here in this thread if you like. I'll spare you, it was just my way of telling you in the comment that I don't look like that anymore (full disclosure, simple). You on the other hand, look near exactly how I expected, or did we meet somewhere before? I doubt that. I think you posted a picture of yourself before. It doesn't matter, it's not the you, you would bring to a meeting as you've stated.

I deleted the reply as it wasn't relevant, what is relevant is that I'm drawn to you regardless of what you look like. It's always been that way and when I scroll down your posts a little green thingymajing tells me I almost never missed a post from you since I started reading your blog (Felix Stadium! Did you know..). My, you've got stamina, lucky me. No wonder you thought I was auto voting you.

More and more I feel a heart pounding in a chest, already stuffed with oversized lungs from years of diving (shown in x rays of my mother also, after Malathion poisoning, who started diving at age 36 to figure out where her crazy kid had gone off to this time). Why here, why now, why when I'm relegated to a sedentary lifestyle? I don't know, but explore I must. ..and why not on steemit?

This morning I went for a ride, headed for Hengevelde to buy eggs from my favorite free reign Chicken farm. Riding is a near out of body experience for me, in full control, but much less aware of my body, like a natural anesthetic. I had given up riding at a relatively young age and only picked it up again much later in life after years of mind numbing work. Life is about feeling again, now what?

More heart and soul than you? You're probably a better judge than I am, but a competition it is not.

Keep grinning :)

I must take a break at this point, not that I want to. Thank you, although I have a hunch it doesn't need to be said, but here it is anyway.
