More comebacks than Frank Sinatra :-) I had him written off when he
joined the yanks almost twenty years ago. Yes, it's possible he may be

So he decides that the best answer for him is professional bicycle racing
where he can just lounge around, take a few pills/injections, and reap
the rewards available to the elite cyclists.
