I propose a thread honoring old age in which each person lists their current physical ailments and general excuses that prevent them from beating people like Paul Smith and Rich Saeger.
I will lead with a growing list of my own.
1. Shoulder pain
2. Heart palpatations
3. High cholesterol
4. Left hip stress fracture
5. Lower back pain (from shoveling snow!)
6. Wife and 3 kids.
Perhaps we can give an award to the winner and the biggest whiner at the end of this thread.

About 8 years ago my daughter was kicked 3 times by a horse. Once to the heart, once to the shoulder & the one that launched her 14 feet in the air that was a direct connect to the temple. My wife and I were less than a moment away when one of her shrieking friends ran to tell us that Danyel was unconcious on the road. Shortly she was helicoptered to Vancouver as she had subdural hematoma and irregular heart beat. For awhile there the issue was in doubt, then they were talking brain damage, behavior change etc. She now goes to university (A student) and is in perfect health.
After that year I realized that my medical issues matter not, it is your kids that matter most. All through this year, which has been difficult, I look at her smiling face and say to everyone "Hey, it's not so bad, could be a lot worse."
It helps.
