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.
John Smith
I do know that challenge. That's why sometimes I leave work to get one - while they're at school it's a lot easier to catch some :snore: !
Well, this makes sense theoretically. But we have half day elementary school on Mondays and they're out at 3:15 the other days. If there is no school cancellation for a drop of snow or one of the ubiquitous school holidays. Plus, if one gets up at 7:00 or even 7:30, one doesn't want a nap until 4:00. That's when I start to drag. And that's when I'm overrun with children, homework, food demands, playdates, chauffeuring. I caught 30 minutes of :snore: between 6:00-6:30 just now. Ah. Now, I'm ordering dinner because my coach told me not to cook and Peter knows I am very obedient.
BTW, that GoodSmith fellow is very busy moving the 3 kids and 3 pets. I think he posted awhile ago that he was doing backstroke again?
