    One challenge is remembering that you don’t need to wait until the weekend to do stuff. It’s better if you plan your adventures for mid-week. You avoid some crowds and give the weekends to the folks who only have Sat/Sun off. No one told me about having to get up a few times a night. That’s no fun.

    What did that birthday card by Learning Tree say … “If I knew I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself."
    In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.

    A big +1 on that good buddy. When I was younger, I said out loud many times, "No way I make it to 30". I worked hard at it too; punk band, parties, fights, motorcycles, substances, Army, broken this-and-that, torn this-and-that.

    I have an appointment with my Orthopedic Surgeon tomorrow to schedule a hip replacement, and to plan for future knee(s) and back fixer-upper.

    When I was little, I read that a broken bone heals stronger. So - being a little kid - I wondered why people didn’t systematically break their bones while growing up so by the time they were adults, they’d have these incredibly strong bones. Later, much later, on reflection, I understood that the bone would only be stronger at the break, not for the whole length of the bone. But I’m happy I had a physically demanding youth (up to about the age 40) because my body is doing just fine while other (younger) folk are having issues. I don’t know how to get it across to the “instant access” youth of today that if they suffer a little bit now (competitive sport intensity), it could pay long term dividends in the future. Something for them to think about while resting in their hammock; OHR (obligitory hammock reference).
