Of a certain age...
Twofer this weekend. We were playing paintball for my nephew's birthday yesterday, when at about 4 minutes in my overweight BiL broke his damn leg. Spiral fracture of the tibia. (?) Also got word that one of my cycling buddies has colon cancer surgery this week. fuck cancer
Still we stay active. I mountain biked in a down pour for about two hours this morning. I had a road ride and two nights of fencing during the week. I saw a grey beard peloton on my way home this morning and a couple bald runners. My generation has a lot of resist gravity advocates but we've got to accept the dirt on the body reality.
