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.

My physical rehab from groin & back coming along ok, but still reluctant to really 'let 'er rip' on the breastroke kick, for the fear that it just might.
A bit of a whine though; my search for a decent job in the wake of closing the bookstore still yields little (Nanaimo's unemployment rate is twice the provincial average) and money very tight so have taken a ful-time graveyard shift at a department store stocking shelves (little more than minimum wage) to get some money flowing & still be available for interviews and my call-in job which pays twice as much, but not often. Only mentioning it 'cause I probably won't be on the forums much for awhile, so don't think I've disappeared or something. I trust the 'Attaboy' thread will be nurtured if I slip a bit in paying it the attention it deserves.
