Ouch

I've been going to the gym with #1 Son, and at the end of the first week, have concluded two things:

1. It's harder at 50 then it was at 40, or even 45. Even using lighter weights, my reps are noticeably down from where they were. And I hurt a lot more than I used to.

2. #1 Son suffers from none of this. In a couple of weeks, he'll kick sand in my face.

I'm in great shape for a man of 60. Sigh.

Yes, but you can still kick sand in some punk's face to defend Mrs. Borepatch.

What is it they say. . "I'm in shape. Round IS a shape"

Heh.
Well I'm here to tell ya that you'd look real peculiar at the firing range in those leopard skin ball shorts.

"a man of 60"
Hey! I resemble that remark!

Nyuk nyuk...

Brigid, I'm hoping that with the Decline of the West and all, the punks are in even worse shape than I am.

Doubletrouble, I'll bring some leopard skin to the next blogshoot. Heh.
