I've got a lot of mileage on this minute body of mine.
Back in the day prior to my accidents, (http://jeffsambur.blogspot.com/2015/07/four-years-ago.html), I reckon I rode a bicycle over a quarter of a million miles. I had a ten year stretch where I pedaled over 100,000 of those Old English measuring units. Now that my love of the two-wheeled vehicle has been beaten out of me; I hike and I do it a lot. As an astute old buddy of mine once said, "Jeff hikes like a monkey on crack."
The scratches, gashes, soreness and sprains keep coming. But I have an Rx for all those maladies and complaints. I ignore them. This is how I fight the good fight against aging. I keep moving. I'm a believer of Newton's Laws of Motion.
Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
I think that external force is A-G-E.
Yep, I'm 61 today, and I'm afraid of slowing down.
Cheers on the ides of November,
Jeff the Birthday Boy.
PS. The photo of the Milky Way was graciously provided by Amber Lyle. It gives me perspective that I'm not that old in the Big Picture.
PPS. Fido didn't score any Alpo from my ad campaign. Poor porcelain Pug.
Next month I'll reach the big 7-0. You're younger than my baby sister. She does Cross-Fit and could probably whip most guys half her age with one hand tied behind her back. Keep moving & stay young!
