Hey, I have kept my mouth shut all day in the face of these degrading emails, but alas enough is enough. You guys are just whinning about your damn aches and pains. Hell, get off your ass's and come on with me and climb 20,00 feet up Kilomanjaro. You are not defeated until you give up, and giving up ain't in my lexicon, just ask Pete Pipkin. Hell, I plan to be showing up on Sundays in the park in a wheel chair shirtless and racing somebody up 10th street at sunrise with the morning mist just rising up to meet me as my breath streams from my nostrals into the damp air, and there is the smell of body sweat all around mixed with a few relief flatuations.
Youth is in the mind, even when you are young, and excuses are like assholes, everybody has one.
By the way, I have a new nickname to add to the long list of nicknames I already have, and it is "Runs With Bears". I acquired it this past Tuesday in Lake Tahoe California. I was running up the 60 degree incline (a little hill work) for 1/2 mile at sunrise and looking out over Lake Tahoe a/k/a heaven on earth, when I rousted a brown bear. We were both headed North on the road down from the mountain top, I on the road, and the bear just off the road in the woods, and I said to the bear, "lets get it on dude, I'll race you to the bottom", so we both took off, me on my two and he on his four. I beat the bear to the bottom, but decided to not let my testostaron totally subdue my better judgment, so I let forego the congratulatory handshake at the end, and allowed him to totter off into the woods. I think he was as scared of the shirtless balheaded homosapien (sbh) as the sbh was of the menancing meat eating machine (that's the bear Bonner just to keep you in the loop here). Any way, there is always someone one or thing to race, squirrls work for me in Gville.
Y'all think about it!
