Playground

We had/have wild grape vines on the hill where I grew up. We'd cut the vine and try to Tarzan it. I was nothing but tendon and bone but with a run I could get a decent swing out of it. The effects of gravity were more prominent for my buddy so with a little work he could make a good arc. Except that grape vines are not used to those forces. He brought the whole thing down out of the trees and just missed landing over a barbed wire fence. Country playgrounds are the best. Jesus, that was like 40 years ago.

Yeah, and 40... ahem, or more, years ago we healed faster. Or were invincible.
Thinking back, when I fucked up and busted something I caught hell for... including my body, it's like life happens.
But when I think of the near misses/close calls where I almost fucked up, my nuts clench.
