Happy Birthday Chris,

I'm at plus 7 and I started feeling thatta way a couple years back. Peeing takes longer, the young girls annoy me more than they turn me on, and I appreciate a good night's sleep over a good meal.

But it's true that you gotta keep active to stay somewhat sane and lubricated in the right spots. I'm into basketball more now these days than baseball or football (as a participant), I'd rather watch those than play. But I still love a good rousing game of B-ball, it gets the heart pumping.

Recently I returned to the local gym to get in some weight training (my mid-life crisis is in full on effect) partially due to doctors orders. Plus I wanna be one of those guys you see walking around with a head full of gray hair (I'm getting there) and a fantastic physique. I'm trying to regain my lethal weapon status and drive the old biddies wild when I'm on beach patrol.

I'm aim to misbehave.

If you have to go Japanese, Tai Kwon Do is fun, lots of cool kicking. I found Okinawan Karate to be good, and friends say Shotokan is excellent as well.
FWIW.

Never a truer word has been said, just keep moving that little bit of pain lets you know your alive.

Tripped up into my fourties a couple of years ago, still having a good laugh and giggle. I have never given much thought to my age and probably wouldn't know how old I was without having to work it out, if people didn't remind me.

Must admit I feel better now than when I turned thirty.





Why have they taken the sky from ME

Old and creepafying I could understand.........
afraid I'm getting there.....what's that old saying "you're only as young as you feel"

BTW Chris whatever pix u posted came up an "X" - just so ya know. But to answer the question as to whether that was me in the pix I posted - No, it's not even where I wanna be.

My recent workout regimen has lost me 6 pounds in about 2 weeks. I aiming to lose another 30 pounds to get back to my fightin' weight - 160.
Used to study Taekwando back in my 20s and it was great, the dojo was closed down after the first year though and I never went back.

But took up on, dare I say it, dancing lessons, even joined a Puerto Rican folkloric dance group for a while when I was in my 30s. Got me in the best shape of my life since karate. I actually could jump higher and had more stamina in 'other' places. Ahhhh, memories.

Good night folks.
