It was a bizarre experience. Very bizarre. I saw a lift sign that said "do you know there are 3 US resorts that still outlaw snowboarding?" I looked at the lift operator and said Alta, Sundance, Mad River Glen - he was confused - I pointed at the sign. It was opening an old, wonderful book if only for a few hours. Well winter might be near it's end, but if I can keep at it, there will be a next year.
Skied for a few hours with my son, but he was more interested in throwing snowballs in the firepit. Whatever floats his boat! We did several runs.
Got home, power intervals on the bike - getting ready for bike touring season and maybe a couple amateur hillclimb races  . |
dear MD
I oh so can feel what you speak of
feel it and power the body is
is capable of
i had a work out regimen
i stuck with a for about 10
years started with 4 mile walk
squats with light weights
100 sit ups everyday
3 days out of week light
weights no more than 15lbs
legs different story
laying on the bench is long gone
and now i'm in bed
laying on the floor most times
when its me and my grandchild
my life span had all kinds of
sport my favorite
volley ball in the sand
the feel of my toes gripping the
sand under them
you are one of the true lucky ones
on this site forum thread whatever
truly for you paddles to have become one
in such a bond (you can't ask for any better)
statistically you fall into the percentile
of excellent outcome
rare
with an awesome fusion
do you as a not dare devil
not dancing with the devil
but taking heed
or better yet
are you conscious as you
triumph in you play hard
way of life
pushing the body
do you feel it could break away
remember just that one fall
in my case different of course
have terrible problems the now third
ortho surgeon Chief of his local
fresh MRI
comes back and said
"eva, i will would not
do any surgery (LUMBAR)
now supersedes the failed
ACDF 5/6-6/7 failed to fuse
PCDF a year later (all i can say my life
changed permanently with his work)
permanent pain
spend to much time in the bed
in the day i try to find projects to
entertain the simple everyday chores
at one time a breeze as OCD
err to the side of order
there is what i call a home for
everything
for me a simpler way of living
i just am trying to say in a nice way
i used to put some men to shame
so
are you aware of your blessed outcome
kick derriere
love life with your boy
and family
definitely only good intentions
i apologize if i crossed the line
